I left Oklahoma driving in a Pontiac
G7
Just about to lose my mind
I was going to Arizona maybe on to California
C
Where the people all live so fine
My baby said I was crazy my momma called me lazy
G7
I was going to show ’em all this time
Cause you know I ain’t no fooling
I don’t need no more schooling
C
I was born to just walk the line
G7
Living on Tulsa time living on Tulsa time
Well you know I’ve been through it
When I set my watch back to it
C
Living on Tulsa time
Well there I was in Hollywood wishing
G7
I was doing good talking on the telephone line
But they don’t need me in the movies
C
And nobody sings my songs guess I’m just a wasting time
Well then I got to thinking man
G7
I’m really sinking and I really had a flash this time
I had no business leaving and nobody would be grieving
C
If I went back to Tulsa time
G7
Living on Tulsa time living on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
Cause you know I’ve been through it
