I left Oklahoma drivinâ"š¬â"ž¢ in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was goinâ"š¬â"ž¢ on to Arizona, maybe on to California
Where all the people live so fine
My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy
I was goinâ"š¬â"ž¢ to show â"š¬í‹Å“em all this time
â"š¬í‹Å“Cause you know I ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t no fool anâ"š¬â"ž¢ I donâ"š¬â"ž¢t need no more schoolinâ"š¬â"ž¢
I was born to just walk the line
Livinâ"š¬â"ž¢ on Tulsa time
Livinâ"š¬â"ž¢ on Tulsa time
Well you know Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Livinâ"š¬â"ž¢ on Tulsa time
Well there I was in Hollywood wishinâ"š¬â"ž¢ I was doinâ"š¬â"ž¢ good
Talkinâ"š¬â"ž¢ on the telephone line
But they donâ"š¬â"ž¢t need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
Guess Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m just wastinâ"š¬â"ž¢ time
Well then I got to thinkinâ"š¬â"ž¢, man Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m really sinkinâ"š¬â"ž¢
And I really had a flash this time
I had no business leavinâ"š¬â"ž¢ and nobody would be grievinâ"š¬â"ž¢
If I went on back to Tulsa time
Livinâ"š¬â"ž¢ on Tulsa time
Livinâ"š¬â"ž¢ on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
â"š¬í‹Å“Cause you know Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been through it
Livinâ"š¬â"ž¢ on Tulsa time
