Well, I left Oklahoma
Driving in a Pontiac,
Just about to lose my mind.
I was going to Arizona,
Maybe on to California

Where people all live so fine.

My mother says I´m crazy,
My baby calls me lazy,
But I´m gonna show them all this time
´Cause you know I ain´t no fool and
I don´t need no more damn schoolin´.
I was born to just walk the line.

Living on Tulsa Time.
Living on Tulsa Time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
´Cause you know that I´ve been through it.
Living on Tulsa Time.

So there I was in Hollywood,
Thinking I was doing good,
Talking on the telephone line.

They don´t want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs;
My mama says my baby´s doing fine.

So then I started winking,
Then I started thinking
That I really had a flash this time.
That I had no bussiness leaving,
And nobody would be grieving;
You see I´m on Tulsa time.

Living on Tulsa Time.
Living on Tulsa Time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
´Cause you know that I´ve been through it.
Living on Tulsa Time.

Living on Tulsa Time.

Living on Tulsa Time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
´Cause you know that I´ve been through it.
Living on Tulsa Time.
