I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac Just about to lose my mind I was goin' to Arizona Maybe on to California Where the people all live so fine.
My baby said, I'z crazy My mama 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'll know I 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 sings my songs Guess, I'm just a wastin' time.
Well, then I got to thinkin' Man I'm really sinkin' An I really had a flash this time I had no business leavin' An nobody would be grievin' If I just 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 been through it Livin' on Tulsa time.
Livin' on Tulsa time Livin' on Tulsa time Gonna set my watch back to it 'Cause you know I been through Livin' on Tulsa time.
