I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac
And nobody sings my songs
When I set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa time
I was goin' to Arizona, maybe on to California
Talkin' on the telephone line
If I went on back to Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time, livin' on Tulsa time
Well, you know I've been through it
Guess I'm just wastin' time
Livin' on Tulsa time, livin' on Tulsa time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool
Wishin' I was doin' good
My baby said I was crazy
I was goin' to show 'em all this time
My Momma called me lazy
'Cause you know I've been through it
Well, then I got to thinkin'
An' I don't need no more schoolin'
Man, I'm really sinkin'
And I really had a flash this time
'Cause you know I've been through it
I had no business leavin'
Just about to lose my mind
Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time, livin' on Tulsa time

And nobody would be grievin'
Where the people all live so fine
I was born to just walk the line

Gonna set my watch back to it
But they don't need me in the movies
Gonna set my watch back to it
Well, there I was in Hollywood
