I left Oklahoma, Driving in a pontiac
E7
Just about to lose my mind.
N.C.
I was going to Arizona, Maybe on to california
Where people all live so fine.
My mother says I’m crazy, my baby calls me lazy
But I’m gonna show them all this time
’cause you know I ain’t no fool and i don’t need no more damn schoolin’
I was born to just walk the line.
E7 Living on tulsa time, Living on tulsa time N.C. Gonna set my watch back to it A ’cause you know that I’ve been through it, living on tulsa time
Living on tulsa time, Living on tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
’cause you know that I’ve been through it, living on tulsa time
N.C. So there I was in hollywood, thinking I was doing good E7 Talking on the telephone line They don’t want me in the movies and nobody sings my songs, A My mama says my baby’s doing fine. N.C. So then I started winking, then I started thinking, E7 That I really had a flash this time N.C. That I had no business leaving, and nobody would be grieving, A You see I’m on tulsa time.
So there I was in hollywood, thinking I was doing good
Talking on the telephone line
They don’t want me in the movies and nobody sings my songs,
My mama says my baby’s doing fine.
So then I started winking, then I started thinking,
That I really had a flash this time
That I had no business leaving, and nobody would be grieving,
You see I’m on tulsa time.
