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
