I like it    I don't like it

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
