I left oklahoma driving in a pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was going to arizona maybe on to california
Where the people all live so fine

My baby said i was crazy
My moma called me lazy
I was gonna show'em all this time

Cause you know i ain't no fooling
I don't need no more school'in
I was born to just walk the line

Chorus:
Livin on tulsa time, livin on tulsa time
Well you know i've been through it
When i set my watch back to it
Livin on tulsa time

Where there i was in hollywood
Wishing i was doing good
Talking on telephone line
But they don't need me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
Guess i'm just wasting time

Well then i got to thinking
Man i'm really sinking
And i really had a flash this time
I had no business leaving
And nobody would be grieving
If i went on back to tulsa time

Repeat chorus
