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
