Only just walk the line

So there I was in Hollywood
Thinking I was doing good
D
Talking on the telephone line
They don't want me in the movies
Ain't nobody sings my songs
G
My Mama says my baby's doing' fine
So then I started weeping
and then I started thinking

And I really had to flash this time
And I had no business leaving
Ain't nobody would be grieving

Ya see I'm on Tulsa Time
Chorus:
G
Living on Tulsa Time

Living on Tulsa Time

'Cause you that I will do it
