Tulsa Time Lyrics

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 and 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

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

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time

What is the Meaning of Tulsa Time?

In the rhythmic heartbeats of "Tulsa Time," we journey with a soul torn between ambition and the comfort of familiar ground. The protagonist ventures far from Oklahoma, chasing dreams across sun-kissed Californian landscapes, only to find disillusionment rather than the promised Hollywood glamor. This reflection ignites a realization: sometimes, true contentment isn't in the neon glow of distant cities but in the simple, unpretentious tick of one's home clock. Returning to Tulsa time is not just a reset of his watch but a realignment of his values and aspirations – a poignant reminder that sometimes, going back is not retreating but reclaiming one’s peace.
