Lyrics

[Verse 1]
E E
 I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
B7
  I was goin' to Arizona,
maybe on to California
                                 E
Where the people all live so fine

[Verse 2]
   E
My baby said, I's crazy,
my mama called me lazy
I was gonna show 'em all this time
B7
  'Cause you know I ain't no fool and I don't need no more
schoolin'
                                E
I was born to just walk the line

[Chorus]
E
Livin' on Tulsa time,
livin' on Tulsa time
B7
  Well, you'll know I been through it
When I set my watch back to it
                    E
Livin' on Tulsa time

[Verse 3]
E B7 E      E
      Well, there I was in Hollywood,
wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
B7
  But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my
songs
Guess, I'm just a wastin' time

[Verse 4]
E      E
 Well, then I got to thinkin',
man I'm really sinkin'
An' I really had a flash this time
B7
  I had no business leavin' an' nobody would be grievin'
                               E
If I went on back to Tulsa time

[Chorus]
E
Livin' on Tulsa time,
livin' on Tulsa time
B7
  Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time
E
 Livin' on Tulsa time,
livin' on Tulsa time
B7
  Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I been through it
                    E
Livin' on Tulsa time
