(Danny Flowers)

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.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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.
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
