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
