I left Oklahoma driving in a Pontiac
                          B
Just about to lose my mind
I was going to Arizona maybe on to California
                                E
Were the people all live so fine
My baby said I was crazy
My moma called me lazy
                                 B
I was gonna show'em all this time
Cause you know I ain't no fooling
I don't need no more school'in
                                E
I was born to just walk the line

                                             B
R: Livin` on Tulsa time, livin` on Tulsa time
   Well you know I've been through it
   When I set my watch back to it
                       E
   Livin` on Tulsa time

Where there I was in Hollywood
Wishing I was doing good
                         B
Talking on telephone line
But they don't need me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
                           E
Guess I'm just wasting time
Well then I got to thinking
Man I'm really sinking
                                  B
And I really had a flash this time
I had no business leaving
And nobody would be grieving
                               E
If I went on back to Tulsa time
