"Oklahoma" is a song written by D. Vincent Williams and John Allen, and recorded by American country music artist Billy Gilman. It was released in October 2000 as the second single from the album "One Voice". Lyrically, it is about a boy reuniting with his birth father after being given away for adoption or somehow losing his mother. In the music video, we see the man, his father, is married with a wife and son, (played by Billy Gilman as he sings the song).

The single written by John Allen and D. Vincent Williams became a Top 40 hit on the Billboard country music charts reaching number 33.[1] The single also reached number 63 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album from which the single is taken was certified two-times Multi-platinum in the United States.
