Well, I left Oklahoma
Driving in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was going to Arizona
Maybe on to California
People are living so fine
My mother called me crazy
My baby said I'm lazy
Gonna show them all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool and
I don't need no more damn school
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
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
Mama said my baby's doing fine
So then I started thinking
Then I got the winking
I really had a flash this time
I had no business 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
