Don't Make Me Come to Tulsa
Longing for Love in Tulsa
Lyrics
Don't make me come to Tulsa
Expressing reluctance to visit Tulsa.
You know I hate the flight
Expressing dislike for the flight to Tulsa.
I ain't been back to Oklahoma baby
Hasn't returned to Oklahoma since the farewell.
Since you said goodbye
Referencing the moment of parting.
I heard a rumor you missed me
There's a rumor about being missed; questioning its truth.
I hope to God it's a lie
Hoping the rumor of being missed is false.
You know how much I love you
Asserting strong love.
Don't make me come to Tulsa
Reiterating reluctance to visit Tulsa.
You had me eatin' right out of your hand
Expressing previous devotion.
I was your genuine cowboy man
Describing the speaker as a genuine cowboy.
You threw me over for another guy
Referring to being rejected for someone else.
I ran Dallas on a one way flight
Traveled to Dallas after the breakup.
Now I'm accustomed to the shape I'm in
Adapting to the current emotional state.
Don't take me down again
Pleading not to be emotionally hurt again.
Don't make me come to Tulsa
Repeating reluctance to visit Tulsa.
You know I hate the flight
Reiterating dislike for the flight.
I ain't been back to Oklahoma baby
Reaffirming not returning to Oklahoma since the breakup.
Since you said goodbye
Recalling the moment of saying goodbye.
I heard a rumor you missed me
Referencing the rumored yearning for the speaker.
I hope to God it's a lie
Hoping the rumor is false.
You know how much I love you
Reasserting deep love.
Don't make me come to Tulsa
Emphasizing the reluctance to visit Tulsa.
I'd love to hold you in my arms tonight
Expressing a desire to be close tonight.
I'd like to think that you'd treat me right
Wishing for respectful treatment.
If I believed you'd really wanted me
Conditionally considering a visit if genuine feelings exist.
I'd crawl to Tulsa on my achin' knees
Expressing willingness to make amends despite potential hurt.
But you'd just hurt me like you did before
Anticipating a repetition of emotional pain.
Can't take them blues no more
Unwillingness to endure further emotional distress.
Don't make me come to Tulsa
Repeating reluctance to visit Tulsa.
You know I hate the flight
Reiterating dislike for the flight.
I ain't been back to Oklahoma baby
Reaffirming not returning to Oklahoma since the breakup.
Since you said goodbye
Recalling the moment of saying goodbye.
I heard a rumor you missed me
Referencing the rumored yearning for the speaker.
I hope to God it's a lie
Hoping the rumor is false.
You know how much I love you
Reasserting deep love.
Don't make me come to Tulsa
Emphasizing the reluctance to visit Tulsa.
You know how much I love you
Reiterating strong love.
Don't make me come to Tulsa
Final plea not to force a visit to Tulsa.
