Tulsa Time

(album: Expressions - 1978)

I left Oklahoma, driving in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was going to Arizona
Maybe on to California
Where the people all live so fine.

My baby said, I'z crazy
My mama 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 schooling
I was born to just walk the line.

Living on Tulsa time
Living on Tulsa time
Well, you'll know I 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 a wasting time.

Well, then I got to thinking
Man I'm really sinking
An I really had a flash this time
I had no business leaving
An nobody would be grieving
If I just 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 been through it
Living on Tulsa time.

Living on Tulsa time
Living on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I been through
Living on Tulsa time.
