left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac Just about to lose my mind I was goin' on to Arizona, maybe on to California Where all the people live so fine My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy I was goin' to show 'em all this time 'Cause you know I ain't no fool an' 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 sings my songs Guess I'm just wastin' time Well then I got to thinkin', man I'm really sinkin' And I really had a flash this time 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
