Tulsa Time

Well, I left Oklahoma
Drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was goin' to Arizona
Maybe on to California
Where people all live so fine
My mama says I am crazy
My baby calls me lazy
But I am goin' to show them all this time
Because you know I ain't no fool
And I don't need no more damn schoolin'
I was born to just walk the line
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Goin' to set my watch back to it
Because you know that I have been through it
I'm livin' on Tulsa time
So there I was in Hollywood
Thinkin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
They do not want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
My mama says my baby's doin' fine
So then I started winkin'
Then I started thinkin'
That I really had a flash this time
That I had no business leavin'
And nobody would be grievin'
You see, I am on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Goin' to set my watch back to it
Because you know that I have been through it
I'm livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Goin' to set my watch back to it
Because you know that I have been through it
I'm livin' on Tulsa time
