I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac Just about to lose my mind I was goin' on to Arizona maybe on to California Where the people all live so fine My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy I was gonna show 'em all this time 'Cause you know I ain't no fool and I don't need no more schoolin' I was born to just walk the line Livin' on Tulsa time, livin' on Tulsa time Well, you know I've been through it When I set my watch back to it Livin' on Tulsa time ♪ Well, there I was in Hollywood, wishin' I was doin' good Talkin' on the telephone line But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sing my songs Guess I'm just wastin' time Then I started thinkin' man, I'm really sinkin' And I really had a flash this time Oh, I had no business leavin' and nobody would be grievin' If I went on back to Tulsa time Livin' on Tulsa time, livin' on Tulsa time Gonna set my watch back to it 'Cause you know I've been through it Livin' on Tulsa time
