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 bussiness leaving,
And nobody would be grieving;
You see I`m on Tulsa time.
