(Emmylou Harris/Rodney Crowell)
I heard the train
In the Tulsa night
Calling out my name
Looking for a fight
She`s come a long, long way
Got a longer way to go
So tell me how a train from Tulsa
Has got a right to know
She sings a song
So sad and high
And the Tulsa Queen
Don`t ever lie
And she don`t care where she goes
Don`t care where she`s been
And the Tulsa Queen ain`t crying
`Cause I won`t see you again
And I want to ride
Like a Tulsa Queen
Calling out to you
As she calls to me
As far away from Tulsa
As these ten wheels can be
Lately I speak
Your name too loud
Each time it comes up
In a crowd
And I know it when I do
The Tulsa Queen and you
Are gone ...
