Tulsa Time

I left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac

Just about to lose my mind

I was goin' on to Arizona, maybe on to California

Where all the people live so fine

My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy

I was goin' to show 'em all this time

'Cause you know I ain't no fool an' I don't need no more schoolin'

I was born to just walk the line

Livin' on Tulsa time

Livin' on Tulsa time

Well you know I've been through it

When I set my watch back to it

Livin' on Tulsa time

Well there I was in Hollywood wishin' I was doin' good

Talkin' on the telephone line

But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs

Guess I'm just wastin' time

Well then I got to thinkin', man I'm really sinkin'

And I really had a flash this time

I had no business leavin' and nobody would be grievin'

If I went on back to Tulsa time

Livin' on Tulsa time

Livin' on Tulsa time

Gonna set my watch back to it

'Cause you know I've been through it

Livin' on Tulsa time
