Relevant Verse:
I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was goin' to Arizona
Maybe on to California
Where the people all live so fine.
My baby said, I'z crazy
My mama called me lazy
I was gonna show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool
And 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'll know I 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 a wastin' time.
Well, then I got to thinkin'
Man I'm really sinkin'
An I really had a flash this time
I had no business leavin'
An nobody would be grievin'
If I just 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 been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time.
