Tulsa
Tulsa's Retribution: A Tale of Love, Betrayal, and Vengeance
Lyrics
When I left Tulsa
Departure from Tulsa
She was still an innocent lady
Reference to a woman who was innocent
Lord only knows why she loved a guy like you
Questioning why she loved the narrator
She caught me crying and she said
Narrator caught crying about a pregnancy
She was having your baby
She claims to be having the baby of another man
You turned your back on her
Other man turned his back and hurt her
And broke her heart in two
Expressing the emotional pain caused
And I swore I'd get you
Narrator swears revenge on the other man
For what you're putting her through
Intent to make the other man pay
And the only reason I ain't got you
Narrator hasn't taken revenge yet
She begged me not to
She pleads with the narrator not to seek revenge
Says she loves you
She still loves the other man despite the pain
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Warning not to experience a downfall in Tulsa
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Reiteration of the warning
If that sun goes down on you
Consequences if the sun sets in Tulsa
There's still hell where you're going down to
Implying a grim fate awaits in the afterlife
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Repeat of the warning not to face consequences
Now she's the only thing
She is the narrator's sole source of care
I've ever really cared for
Expressing the narrator's deep feelings for her
No she don't deserve this kind of shame (no she don't)
She doesn't deserve the shame brought by the other man
She carries a burden around
She bears the burden caused by the other man
That you know you're to blame for
Attributing blame to the other man
And you just laughed and said, they ain't getting your name
Other man dismissive of the consequences
Now you're gonna pay
Consequences will be faced by the other man
For what you're putting her through
Reiteration of the consequences for the other man
And the only reason I ain't got you
Reasons for not taking revenge yet
She begged me not to
Her plea not to seek revenge
Says she loves you
Her continued love for the other man
I ain't through with you yet
Narrator's determination to pursue consequences
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Repeat of the warning not to face consequences
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Reiteration of the warning
If that sun goes down on you
Consequences if the sun sets in Tulsa
There's still hell where you're going down to
Implying a grim fate awaits in the afterlife
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Repeat of the warning not to face consequences
You better not let the set on you on Tulsa
Emphasis on avoiding the consequences
'Cause if that sun goes down on you
Consequences if the sun sets in Tulsa
There's still hell where you're going down to
Implying a grim fate awaits in the afterlife
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Repeat of the warning not to face consequences
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Reiteration of the warning not to face consequences
Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Final warning not to experience a downfall in Tulsa
