I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was goin' on to Arizona maybe on to California
Where the people all live so fineMy baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy
I was gonna show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool and I don't need no more schoolin'
I was born to just walk the lineLivin' 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 timeWell, 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 sing my songs
Guess I'm just wastin' timeThen I started thinkin' man, I'm really sinkin'
And I really had a flash this time
Oh, I had no business leavin' and nobody would be grievin'
If I went on back to Tulsa timeLivin' on Tulsa time, livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time
