"Tulsa" lyrics

"Tulsa"

When I crossed that Oklahoma line
I flicked my trusty Bic
Took a drag to ease my pain
Smoke poured between my lips
And if there's snow in Tishomingo
Dallas may just have to wait
I can't seem to find no peace of my mind
This feels like some mistake

And that old familiar feeling's setting in...

Well I think I should have stayed in Tulsa
East Texas ain't for me
They'll lock you up for smoking grass
And throw away the key
Don Williams knew what he was talkin' bout
When he was singin' Tulsa Time
Oh but Kenny's Tulsa Turnaround
Is what's runnin' round my mind
When he said oh, Lord
I wish I had never been stoned

Well the roads kept gettin better
The further south we went
My nervousness and worry
Had started to relent
When I saw that Texas border
And the Texas state police
Wish I left my stash in Tulsa
Instead of underneath my seat

And that old familiar feeling's setting in...

Well I think I should have stayed in Tulsa
East Texas ain't for me
They'll lock you up for smoking grass
And throw away the key
Don Williams knew what he was talkin' bout
When he was singin' Tulsa Time
Oh but Kenny's Tulsa Turnaround
Is what's runnin' round my mind
When he said oh, Lord
I wish I had never been stoned

Well I think I should have stayed in Tulsa
East Texas ain't for me
They'll lock you up for smoking grass
And throw away the key
Don Williams knew what he was talkin' bout
When he was singin' Tulsa Time
Oh but Kenny's Tulsa Turnaround
Is what's runnin' round my mind
When he said oh, Lord
I wish I had never been stoned
