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 momma called me lazy
I was going to show 'em all this time
Cause you know I ain't no fooling
I don't need no more schooling
I was born to just walk the line
Living on Tulsa time living on Tulsa time
Well you know I've been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Living on Tulsa time
Well there I was in Hollywood wishing
I was doing good talking on the telephone line
But they don't need me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs guess I'm just a 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 back to Tulsa time
Living on Tulsa time living on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
