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 that Tulsa time

Livin' on that Tulsa time

Well, you know I've been through it

When I set my watch back to it

Livin' on that Tulsa time

Livin' on Kentucky time

Livin' on Kentucky time

Well, you know I've been through it

When I set that watch back to it

Livin' on Kentucky time
