1. I left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac,
A
just
about to lose my mind,
I was goin'
to Arizona, maybe on to California
A7 D
where
the people all live so fine
D
My baby said I's crazy, my momma called me lazy,
A
I was gonna
show 'em all this time,
'cause you know I ain't no fool and I don't need no
more schoolin',
A7 D
I was born to just walk the
line.
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,
A7 D
livin' on Tulsa time.
+ D - A - A7 - D

2. Well, there I was in Hollywood, wishin' I
was doin' good,
A
talkin' on the telephone line,
but
they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs,
A7 D
guess
I'm just wastin' time
D
Well, then I got to thinkin', man I'm really sinkin',
A
and I
really had a flash this time,
I had no business leavin' and nobody would be grievin'
A7 D
if I
went on back to Tulsa time.
D A
Livin' on Tulsa time, livin' on Tulsa time,
gonna set my watch back
to it 'cause you know I've been through it,
A7 D
livin' on Tulsa time.
