Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac, just about to lose my mind.

I was goin' to Arizona maybe on to California,

where the people all live so fine.

My baby said I's crazy, my mama called me lazy,

I was gonna show'em all this time.

Cuz you know I ain't no fool and I don't need no more schoolin',

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.

(Instrumental)

Well there I was in Hollywood, wishin' I was doin' good,

talkin' on the telephone line.

But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs,

guess I'm just a waistin' 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' and nobody would be grievin'

if I went on back to Tulsa time.

Repeat Chorus twice
