When I was a young man barely seventeen
|
I went on out to Hollywood chasing my dream
|
And dusty Oklahoma was all I'd ever seen
|
And I was getting older
|
The memories of the greyhound
|
Fade and quickly pass
|
In the lonely restaurant windows
|
And the empty hourglass
|
Reflect the human hunger
|
For the questions never asked
|
And I only had my time for spending
|
|
But I'm goin' on back to Tulsa just one more time
|
Yes, I'm goin' on back to Tulsa just one more time
|
Yes, I'm goin' on back to Tulsa just one more time
|
I've got home sweet Oklahoma on my mind
|
|
Oh, I'm growing younger now
|
And how I just don't know
|
But the feeling¡¯s much more happy
|
And life it's nice and slow
|
The past is just some photographs
|
Of the good friends that I know
|
And my love is so much better
|
Yes it is
|
|
Yeah, I'm goin' on back to Tulsa one more time
|
Yes, I'm goin' on down to Tulsa just one more time
|
Yes, I'm goin' on back to Tulsa one more time
|
Oh, I've got home sweet Oklahoma on my mind
|
|
I'm goin' on back to Tulsa one more time
|
Yes, I'm goin' on down to Tulsa just one more time
|
Yes, I'm goin' on back to Tulsa one more time
|
Yeah, I've got home sweet Oklahoma on my mind
|
