Livin' on Tulsa time

  

I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac

Just about to lose my mind

I was goin' to Arizona

Maybe on to California

Where the people all live so fine

My baby said, "That's crazy"

My mama called me, "Lazy"

I was gonna show 'em all this time

'Cause you know I ain't no foolin'

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

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
