(verse 1)
D
I left Oklahoma driving in a pontiac,
A
Just about to lose my mind,
I was going to Arizona maybe on to California,
D
Were the people all live so fine,
My baby said I was crazy,
My moma called me lazy,
A
I was gonna show'em all this time,
Cause you know I ain't no fooling,
I don't need no more school'in,
D
I was born to just walk the line,
[Refrão]D A
Livin on Tulsa time, livin on Tulsa time,
Well you know I've been through it,
When I set my watch back to it,
D
Livin on Tulsa time,
(lead - D - A - D)
(verse 2)
D
Where there I was in Hollywood,
Wishing I was doing good,
A
Talking on telephone line,
But they don't need me in the movies,
And nobody sings my songs,
D
Guess I'm just wasting time,
Well then I got to thinking,
Man I'm really sinking,
A
And I really had a flash this time,
I had no business leaving,
And nobody would be grieving,
D
If I went on back to tulsa time,
(chorus)
D A
Livin on Tulsa time, livin on Tulsa time,
Well you know I've been through it,
When I set my watch back to it,
D
Livin on Tulsa time,
(chorus)
D A
Livin on Tulsa time, livin on Tulsa time,
Well you know I've been through it,
When I set my watch back to it,
D
Livin on Tulsa time,
