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 I's crazy, my momma called me lazy

I was gonna 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

Chorus:

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

(Optional Instrumental)

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 (Chorus twice)
