Tulsa Time
Chasing Dreams on Tulsa Time: A Musical Journey of Independence
Lyrics
I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac
The singer left Oklahoma while driving in a Pontiac.
Just about to lose my mind
Feeling extremely stressed or overwhelmed.
I was goin' to Arizona
Originally heading towards Arizona.
Maybe on to California
Possibly planning to go to California.
Where the people all live so fine
Referencing the perceived wealth or high living standards of Californians.
My baby said, I'z crazy
The singer's partner thought they were irrational.
My mama called me lazy
The singer's mother criticized them for being lazy.
I was gonna show 'em all this time
Determined to prove themselves to others.
'Cause you know I ain't no foolin'
Confident about not being deceived.
And I don't need no more schoolin'
Doesn't require further education.
I was born to just walk the line
Feels destined to follow a certain path.
Livin' on Tulsa time
Living life according to the pace of Tulsa.
Livin' on Tulsa time
Reaffirmation of living in sync with Tulsa's pace.
Well, you know I've been through it
Having experienced difficulties.
When I set my watch back to it
Returning to a routine or lifestyle.
Livin' on Tulsa Time
Reiterating the commitment to live in Tulsa's rhythm.
Well, there I was in Hollywood
Reflecting on being in Hollywood.
Wishin' I was doin' good
Wishing for success in Hollywood.
Talkin' on the telephone line
Talking on the phone but not being needed for movies.
But they don't need me in the movies
Realizing that Hollywood doesn't appreciate the singer's talent.
And nobody sings my songs
Feeling unrecognized for songwriting.
Guess, I'm just a wastin' time
Sense of wasting time in Hollywood.
Well, then I got to thinkin'
Contemplating the situation.
Man I'm really sinkin'
Feeling deeply troubled.
And I really had a flash this time
Having a sudden realization.
I had no business leavin'
Believing it was wrong to leave Tulsa.
And nobody would be grievin'
Thinking no one would be upset if they returned to Tulsa.
If I went on back to Tulsa time
Contemplating going back to living in Tulsa.
Livin' on Tulsa time
Embracing life on Tulsa time.
Livin' on Tulsa time
Reaffirming the commitment to live according to Tulsa's pace.
Gonna set my watch back to it
Intending to adjust back to Tulsa's rhythm.
'Cause you know I been through it
Confirming past experiences while living in Tulsa.
Livin' on Tulsa time
Resuming the lifestyle synced with Tulsa's rhythm.
Livin' on Tulsa time
Repetition reaffirming life on Tulsa time.
Livin' on Tulsa time
Continued commitment to living in Tulsa's rhythm.
Gonna set my watch back to it
Planning to readjust to Tulsa's pace.
'Cause you know I been through
Confirming past experiences while living in Tulsa.
Livin' on Tulsa time
Reiterating the commitment to live according to Tulsa's pace.
