Down in Poteau, where the rivers flow
Where the tall pines sway in the breeze
Life moves slow, but the hearts beat strong
In this town nestled among the trees
Poteau, Oklahoma, where the sky meets the land
Where the folks are friendly, and they lend a helping hand
From the hills to the valleys, it's where I long to be
Poteau, Oklahoma, you're the home for me
In Poteau, on a Friday night
You'll find us at the local bar
Singing songs, under neon lights
With friends who'll never be too far
So here's to Poteau, our little piece of heaven
Where the spirit of the South will never die
In Poteau, Oklahoma, under that wide Oklahoma sky
