Tulsa Time (1979)
I left Oklahoma, driving in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was going to Arizona, maybe on to California
Where people all live so fine
My baby said I’m crazy; my mama called me lazy
I was gonna show them all this time
Cause you know I ain’t no fool and I don’t need no more schooling
I was born to just walk the line
Living on Tulsa time; Living on Tulsa time
Well you know I’ve been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Living on Tulsa time
Well there I was in Hollywood; wishing I was doing good
Talking on the telephone line
But they don’t need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
Guess I’m just wasting time
Well then I got to thinking; man I’m really sinking
And I really had a flash this time
I had no business leaving and nobody would be grieving
If I went on back to Tulsa time
Living on Tulsa time; Living on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
Cause you know I’ve been through it
Living on Tulsa time
