G7 C

[Verse 1]
C
I left Oklahoma, Driving in a Pontiac
C                     G7
Just about to lose my mind.
G7
I was going to Arizona, Maybe on to California
G7                        C
all the people live so fine.
C
my momma said I’m crazy, my baby said I’m lazy
C                                     G7
well I’m gonna prove them wrong this time
G7
you know that I ain’t foolin’ and I don’t need no more schoolin’
G7                           C
learnin’ just to walk the line.

[Chorus]
C                                     G7
Living on Tulsa time, Living on Tulsa time
G7
Gonna set my watch back to it
G7                                                            C
’cause you know that I’ve been through it, living on Tulsa time

[Verse 2]
C
well there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good
 C                         G7
Talking on the telephone line
G7
well they don’t need me in the movies and they never sing my songs,
G7                                 C
but my baby says his baby’s doing fine.
C
aw y’ sit ‘an thinking, man I’m really thinking,
C                         G7
I really had a flash this time
G7
well I had no business leaving, and no party would be grieving,
G7                          C
but man, I like this Tulsa time.

[Chorus]
C                                      G7
Living on Tulsa time, Living on Tulsa time
G7
I’LL set my watch back to it
G7                                                   C
I don’t know if I’ll get through it, living on Tulsa time
