Tulsa Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Start again out of Chicago
On a two-day’s drive to Santa Fe
Pulling eighteen tons of cargo
I stay on 40 most the way
Well it’s a gray November morning
Oh the wind blows smoke that’s dark and cool
Riding toward the old frontier
On a horse of fire and diesel fuel
[Verse 2]
I keep my eyes on the horizon
Watch the heat rise off the prairie floor
I sit still and keep on driving
‘Til I can’t sit still anymore
Rest stop just outside of Tulsa
Watching parents watching their kids play
I had dreams of family once
Those have long since gone away
[Verse 3]
Once I make it into evening
Well, I switch off my radio
Listen to the engine breathing
The scream of tires on the road
I still hear the highway howl
As I crawl up my cabin toward my bed
I close my eyes and pray for sleep
The highway’s humming in my head
Start again out of Chicago
On a two-day’s drive to Santa Fe
Pulling eighteen tons of cargo
I stay on 40 most the way
Oh the wind blows smoke that’s dark and cool
Riding toward the old frontier
On a horse of fire and diesel fuel
I keep my eyes on the horizon
Watch the heat rise off the prairie floor
I sit still and keep on driving
‘Til I can’t sit still anymore
Watching parents watching their kids play
I had dreams of family once
Those have long since gone away
Once I make it into evening
Well, I switch off my radio
Listen to the engine breathing
The scream of tires on the road
As I crawl up my cabin toward my bed
I close my eyes and pray for sleep
The highway’s humming in my head
