And nobody would be grievin'
My Momma called me lazy
And nobody sings my songs
And I really had a flash this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool
Wishin' I was doin' good
I was born to just walk the line
I was goin' to Arizona, maybe on to California
Talkin' on the telephone line
Well, you know I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time, livin' on Tulsa time
My baby said I was crazy
'Cause you know I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time
I had no business leavin'
When I set my watch back to it
But they don't need me in the movies
Gonna set my watch back to it
Where the people all live so fine
Well, there I was in Hollywood
Guess I'm just wastin' time
I was goin' to show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I've been through it
Gonna set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa time, livin' on Tulsa time
If I went on back to Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time, livin' on Tulsa time
Well, then I got to thinkin'
An' I don't need no more schoolin'
Man, I'm really sinkin'
