Tulsa Time

(Album: Thin Line - 2016)

I left Oklahoma driving in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was going on to Arizona, maybe on to California
Where all the people live so fine
My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy
I was going to show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool an' 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
