"Tulsa Time" by Don Williams
Capo 9th fret to play along with the recorded version, or transpose -3.
[Verse 1]
GI left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my Dmind
I was goin' to Arizona, maybe on to California
Where the people all live so Gfine
My baby said I's crazy, my momma called me lazy
I was gonna show 'em all this Dtime
'Cause you know I ain't no fool an' I don't need no more schoolin'
I was born to just walk the Gline
[Chorus]
GLivin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa Dtime
Well you know I've been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa Gtime
[Verse 2]
GWell there I was in Hollywood, wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone Dline
But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
Guess I'm just wastin' Gtime
Well then I got to thinkin', man I'm really sinkin'
And I really had a flash this Dtime
I had no business leavin' and nobody would be grievin'
If I went on back to Tulsa Gtime
[Chorus]
GLivin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa Dtime
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cuz you know I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa Gtime
GLivin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa Dtime
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cuz you know I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa Gtime

"Tulsa Time" by Don Williams

Capo 9th fret to play along with the recorded version, or transpose -3.

[Verse 1]

I left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac

Just about to lose my mind

I was goin' to Arizona, maybe on to California

Where the people all live so fine

My baby said I's crazy, my momma called me lazy

I was gonna 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

[Chorus]

Livin' on Tulsa time

Well you know I've been through it

When I set my watch back to it

Livin' on Tulsa time

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Livin' on Tulsa time

Gonna set my watch back to it

'Cuz you know I've been through it

Livin' on Tulsa time

Gonna set my watch back to it

'Cuz you know I've been through it

Livin' on Tulsa time
