Lyrics

Passin' through Tulsa at four in the mornin'
Crossin' the Arkansas one more time
Moon on the river is lower than usual
Can't get much lower than this gas gauge of mine
All the lights in Tulsa could not warm my heart now
That is somethin' only you would know
I'm passin' through Tulsa at four in the mornin'
But I really got nowhere to go
Stoppin' for gas and a bottle of iced tea
I ask the kid if he's new around here
He's up from Dallas, he moved here in '80
I had a hell of a future that year
Movin' and shakin', I was always in motion
My name in the papers, a man in the know
Now I'm passin' through Tulsa at four in the mornin'
But I really got nowhere to go
Sun's comin' up in my rearview mirror now
Openin' the wide blue sky
I hope the sun helps me see things clearer now
As mile after meaningless mile roll by
Up in the visor I stash all my photographs
All of 'em taken a long time ago
You in the swimming pool, you on your bicycle
You on the river at Cape Girardeau
Gone with the Arkansas, swept by the current now
Where you are now only you and God know
Me, I'm passin' through Tulsa at four in the mornin'
But I really got nowhere to go
Sun's comin' up in my rearview mirror now
Openin' the wide blue sky
I hope the sun helps me see things clearer now
As mile after meaningless mile roll by
Up in the visor I stash all my photographs
All of 'em taken a long time ago
You in the swimming pool, you on your bicycle
You on the river at Cape Girardeau
Gone with the Arkansas, swept by the current now
Where you are now only you and God know
Me, I'm passin' through Tulsa at four in the mornin'
But I really got nowhere to go
I'm passin' through Tulsa at four in the mornin'
But I really got nowhere to go
