EI left Oklahoma driving in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mindB I was going to Arizona maybe on to California
Were the people all live so fineE My baby said I was crazy
My moma called me lazy
I was gonna show'em all this timeB Cause you know I ain't no fooling
I don't need no more school'in
I was born to just walk the lineE
CHORUS:
Livin` on Tulsa time, livin` on Tulsa timeB Well you know I've been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Livin` on Tulsa timeE
Where there I was in Hollywood
Wishing I was doing good
Talking on telephone lineB But they don't need me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
Guess I'm just wasting timeE Well then I got to thinking
Man I'm really sinking
And I really had a flash this timeB I had no business leaving
And nobody would be grieving
If I went on back to Tulsa timeE
