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