Eric Clapton – Tulsa Time – (1985) Written by Danny Flower for Don Williams (1978) Well, I left Oklahoma Driving in a Po-ontiac, Just about to lo-ose my mind. I was going to Arizona, 'n' O-on to California Where people all livin' so fine. My ma-amma called me crazy, My ba-aby said I'm lazy, But I'm gonna show 'em a-all this time Cause you know I ain't no fool an' I don't need no more damn scho-olin'. I was born to ju-ust wa-alk the line. Livin' on Tulsa time. Livin' on Tulsa time. Gonna set my watch back to it Cause you know that I've been through it. Livin' on Tulsa time. So there I was in Hollywood, Thinkin' I was doing good, Talkin' on the telephone line. They don't want me in the movies And no-obody si-ings my songs; My mamma says my baby's doing fine. So-o then I started thinkin', Guess I got to drinkin' Re-eally had a flash this time. See, I had no business leaving (so) No-obody would be grieving; I'm livin' on Tu-ulsa time. Livin' on Tulsa time. Livin' on Tulsa time. Gonna set my watch back to it Cause you know that I've been through it. Livin' on Tulsa time. |
Cat Stevens – Father and Son – 1971 FATHER: It's not time to make a change, Just relax, take it easy. You're still young, that's your fault, There's so much you have to know. Find a girl, settle down, If you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy. I was once like you are now, |
