Tulsa Time Lyrics
Well, I left oklahoma
Driving in a pontiac,
Just about to lose my mind.
I was going to arizona,
Maybe on to california
Where people all live so fine.
My mother says Im crazy,
My baby calls me lazy,
But Im gonna show them all this time
cause you know I aint no fool and
I dont need no more damn schoolin.
I was born to just walk the line.
Living on tulsa time.
Living on tulsa time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
cause you know that Ive been through it.
Living on tulsa time.
So there I was in hollywood,
Thinking I was doing good,
Talking on the telephone line.
They dont want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs;
My mama says my babys doing fine.
So then I started winking,
Then I started thinking
That I really had a flash this time.
That I had no bussiness leaving,
And nobody would be grieving;
You see Im on tulsa time.

And nobody would be grieving;
You see Im on tulsa time.

Wonderful song about a musician who keeps leaving home trying to make it in the music business.
He's tried many times, hence "My momma called me crazy. My baby said I'm lazy. Gonna show em all this time"
He feels he did a little better this time with "I really had a flash this time" and then realizes he has nothing to lose with "I had no business leaving, Ain't nobody would be grieving, Seeing I'm on Tulsa time" and that he can always go home and try another time.
Thanks for this. I love this song and the meaning of this song. By the way https://www.researchwritingkings.com/review-of-7dollaressay-com/ know how to write not only songs, but essays as well.
