Tulsa Time Lyrics

Tulsa Time - Danny Flowers
as covered by Don Williams
Here's a rocked-up version of an old one by Danny Flowrers
He wrote this back in 1960; I hope you enjoy it.
It's been covered by Don Williams and then Eric Clapton.
I include the intro from Don Williams Classics version. Try it.
Works Great with a slide in "E" tuning, too.
I left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac, just about to lose my mind
I was goin' on to Arizona, maybe on to California
Where all the people live so fine
My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy
I was goin' to show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool an' I don't need no more schoolin'
I was born to just walk the line
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
Instrumental: E-B7-E
Well there I was in Hollywood wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
Guess I'm just wastin' time
Well then I got to thinkin', man I'm really sinkin'
And I really had a flash this time
I had no business leavin' and nobody would be grievin'
If I went on back to Tulsa time
Repeat Chorus 2X
Outro: E-B7-E-B7 Fade out
Or - You can play it like this: Thanks to John & LightningBoy:
The power chords add a little meat to it.
