Eric Clapton - Tulsa Time Lyrics

Well, I left Oklahoma
Drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind

I was goin' to Arizona
Maybe on to California
People are livin' so fine

My mother called me crazy
My baby said I'm lazy
Gonna show 'em all this time

'Cause you know I ain't no fool and
I don't need no more damn school
Born to just walk the line

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know that I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time

So there I was in Hollywood
Thinkin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line

They don't want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
Mama said "My baby's doin' fine"

So then I started thinkin'
Then I got the winkin'
I really had a flash this time

That I had no business leavin'
And nobody would be grievin'
You see I'm on Tulsa time

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know that I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know that I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time
