Tulsa

I was 18 miles from Tulsa
When he ran my license plate
He said "son this ain't your car"
I hit the gas and I sped away
He put a bullet in my back tire
And then another one in my arm
So I fought a few back at him
Then I bailed out of that car

And I ain't never gonna change
And my bloodline is to blame
You can say that to my grave
I spent a lot of time filled with pain
And ain't a damn thing gonna change
'Til they put me in my grave

I keep a picture in my wallet
Of a girl I used to know
And she's flying with the angels
As I struggle down here below
And I still talk sometimes to Jesus
And I know that he ain't proud
And I pray that he might save me
Or all my blood spills down the ground

And I ain't never gonna change
And my bloodline is to blame
You can say that to my grave
I spent a lot of time filled with pain
And ain't a damn thing gonna change
'Til they put me in my grave, oh

And as I lie here on the pavement
My body's growing cold
He's lying down beside me
Neither one of us is gonna make it home

And I ain't never gonna change
And my bloodline is to blame
You can say that to my grave
I spent a lot of time filled with pain
And ain't a damn thing gonna change
'Til they put me in my grave, oh
