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 fineMy baby said I was crazy
My Momma called me lazy
I was goin' to 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 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 sings my songs
Guess I'm just wastin' timeWell, 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 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 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
