I left Oklahoma driving 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 I was crazy My moma called me lazy I was gonna show'em all this time Cause you know I ain't no fooling I don't need no more school'in I was born to just walk the line Chorus: 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 Where there I was in Hollywood Wishing I was doing good Talking on telephone line But they don't need me in the movies And nobody sings my songs Guess I'm just wasting time Well then I got to thinking Man I'm really sinking And I really had a flash this time I had no business leaving And nobody would be grieving If I went on back to Tulsa time Repeat chorus
