Tulsa Time (midi)

G \

1. Well, I left Oklahoma, driving in a Pontiac,

\ D

just about to lose my mind.

\ \

I was going to Arizona, maybe on to California,

G

where people all live so fine.

G \

2. My mother says I'm crazy, my baby calls me lazy,

\ D

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'.

G

I was born to just walk the line.

D

Living on Tulsa time, living on Tulsa time,

gonna set my watch back to it,

\ \ G

'cause you know that I've been through it, living on Tulsa time.

G

3. So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good,

D

talking on the telephone line.

\ \

They don't want me in the movies and nobody sings my songs,

\ G

my mama says my baby's doing fine.

So then I started winking, then I started thinking,

\ D

that I really had a flash this time.

That I had no business leaving, and nobody would be grieving,

G

you see I'm on Tulsa time.
