I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac Just about to lose my mind I was going to Arizona Maybe on to California Where the people all live so fine My baby said, "That's crazy" My mama called me, "Lazy" I was gonna show 'em all this time 'Cause you know I ain't no foolin' I don't need no more schoolin' I was born just to walk the line Livin' on Tulsa time Livin' on Tulsa time Well, you know I've 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 They don't need me in the movies And no one sings my songs Guess, I'm just wastin' time Well, then I got to thinkin' Man, I'm really sinkin' I really had a flash this time I had no business leavin' And nobody would be grievin' If I went back on to Tulsa time Livin' on Tulsa time Livin' on Tulsa time Gonna set my watch back to it 'Cause you know that I've been through it Livin' on Tulsa time Livin' on Tulsa time Livin' on Tulsa time Gonna set my watch back to it 'Cause you know I've been through it Livin' on Tulsa time
