Standard (EADGBE)

I left Oklahoma, Driving in a pontiac

Just about to lose my mind.

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.

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 timeChorus

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.

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
