"Tulsa Time" lyrics

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

My mother says I'm crazy
My baby calls me lazy
But I'm gonna show them all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool and
I don't need no more damn schoolin'
I was born to just walk the line

Living on Tulsa Time
Living on Tulsa Time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know that I've been through it
Living on Tulsa Time

So there I was in Hollywood
Thinking I was doing good
Talking on the telephone line
They don't want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
My mama says my baby's doing fine

So then I started winking
Then I started thinking
That I really had a flash this time
That I had no business leaving
And nobody would be grieving
You see I'm on Tulsa time

Living on Tulsa Time
Living on Tulsa Time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know that I've 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 that I've been through it
Living on Tulsa Time
