E-1
I left Oklahoma, driving in a pontiac,
B7-57
Just about to lose my mind
I was going' to Arizona, maybe on to California,
E-1
Where the people all live so fine
My mama says I'm lazy, my baby thinks I'm crazy,
B7-57
Gonna show 'em all this time
Now you know I ain't a'foolin', I don't need no more schoolin'
E-1
I was born to just walk the line.
(Chorus)
E-1 B7-57
Livin' on Tulsa time, Livin' on Tulsa time
Well you know I've been through it, 'cause I set my watch back to it,
E-1
Livin' on Tulsa time.
Well, there I was in Hollywood, wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
They don't need my in the movies, and nobody sings my songs
I guess I'm just a'wastin' time
Well, then I got to thinkin', man I'm really sinkin'
And I really had a flash this time
I had no business leavin', then nobody would be grievin'
If I went on back to Tulsa time.
