Eric Clapton Tulsa Time Lyrics

Tulsa Time lyrics

Well, I left Oklahoma
Driving in my Pontiac,
Just about to lose my mind.
I was going to Arizona,
Maybe on to California
Where people all look so fine.

My mama says I'm crazy,
My baby calls me lazy,
But I'm gonna show'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool and
I don't need no more school
I'm livin' on tulsa time.

Living on Tulsa Time.
Living on Tulsa Time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know that I been through it.
Living on Tulsa Time.

So there I was in Hollywood,
Thinking I was doing good,
Talking on the telephone line.
They don't want me in the movies
Ain't nobody sing my songs;
My mama says my baby's doing fine.

So then I started drinkin',
Then I started thinkin'
Amd I really had a flash this time.
And I had no business leaving,
And nobody would be grieving;
You see I'm on Tulsa time.
