Tulsa Girl

“My Hat Don’t Hang On The Same Nail Too Long”

Is playin’ on my radio

There ain’t a fast lane to be found

On this early south-bound out of Chicago

All I got is one more stop

At some ol’ loading dock outside of Joplin I gotta make

Through the steam comin’ up

Of this truck-stop coffee cup I drift away

I can see you layin’ there by my side

With your auburn hair in the morning light

I’m gonna keep this ol’ rig

Rollin’ fast as I can

And with any luck at all I’ll wake up

In your arms tomorrow, Tulsa girl

I’ve seen the colors of Sedona

The golden coast of California’s a sight to see

But it ain’t the freedom, it ain’t the pay

It ain’t the fuel in the tank that carries me

Down this lonely four-lane road

My mind drifts off like diesel smoke in the midnight air

So I keep my foot on the gas

And eighteen wheels rollin’ fast ‘cause girl, I swear

That I can see you layin’ there by my side

With your auburn hair in the morning light

I’m gonna keep this ol’ rig

Rollin’ fast as I can

And with any luck at all I’ll wake up

In your arms tomorrow, Tulsa girl

I can’t wait to see you layin’ there by my side

With your auburn hair in the morning light

I’m gonna keep this ol’ rig

Rollin’ fast as I can

And with any luck at all I’ll wake up

In your arms tomorrow, Tulsa girl

Yeah, with any luck at all I’ll be back

In your arms tomorrow, Tulsa girl
