Tulsa Time - Eric Clapton
For I've read some funny lyrics about that song before, I thought it was time to give you the right one! :)
[1. Verse:]
G
When I left Oklahoma,
driving in a Pontiac
D
just about to lose my mind,
I was going to Arizona,
maybe on to California
G
where people are living so fine.
My mama called me crazy,
my baby said I'm lazy,
D
gonna show 'em all the style.
'Cause you know I ain't no fool
and I don't need no more damn school.
G
Gonna just walk the line.
[Chorus:]
Living on Tulsa Time.
D
Living on Tulsa Time.
Gonna set my watch back to it,
'cause you know that I've benn throgh it.
G
Living on tulsa time.
[Solo on Verse]
[2. Verse:]
G
So there I was in Hollywood,
thinkin' I was doing good,
D
talking on the telephone line.
They don't want me in the movies
and nobody sings my songs;
G
mama said my baby's doing fine.
So then I started thinking,
that I got to wink it
D
I really had a flash this time
that I had no bussiness leaving
and nobody would be greaving.
G
You see I'm on Tulsa Time.
[Chorus]
