Tulsa Queen
(emmylou harris/rodney crowell)
I heard the train
In the tulsa night
Calling out my name
Looking for a fight
Shes come a long, long way
Got a longer way to go
So tell me how a train from tulsa
Has got a right to know
She sings a song
So sad and high
And the tulsa queen
Dont ever lie
And she dont care where she goes
Dont care where shes been
And the tulsa queen aint crying
cause I wont see you again
And I want to ride
Like a tulsa queen
Calling out to you
As she calls to me
As far away from tulsa
As these ten wheels can be
Lately I speak
Your name too loud
Each time it comes up
In a crowd
And I know it when I do
The tulsa queen and you
Are gone ...

Dont Make Me Come To Tulsa
(don cook)
Dont make me come to tulsa
You know I hate the flight
I aint been back to oklahoma baby
Since you said goodbye
I heard a rumor you missed me
I hope to God its a lie
You know how much I love you
Dont make me come to tulsa
You had me eatin right out of your hand
I was your genuine cowboy man
You threw me over for another guy
I ran dallas on a one way flight
Now Im accustomed to the shape Im in
Dont take me down again
Dont make me come to tulsa
You know I hate the flight
I aint been back to oklahoma baby
Since you said goodbye
I heard a rumor you missed me
I hope to God its a lie
You know how much I love you
Dont make me come to tulsa
Id love to hold you in my arms tonight
Id like to think that youd treat me right
If I believed youd really wanted me
Id crawl to tulsa on my achin knees
But youd just hurt me like you did before
Cant take them blues no more
Dont make me come to tulsa
You know I hate the flight
I aint been back to oklahoma baby
Since you said goodbye
I heard a rumor you missed me
I hope to God its a lie
You know how much I love you
Dont make me come to tulsa
You know how much I love you
Dont make me come to tulsa

Trust Time
I left oklahoma driving in a pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was going to arizona maybe on to california
Where the people all live so fine
My baby said I was crazy
My moma called me lazy
I was gonna showem all this time
Cause you know I aint no fooling
I dont need no more schoolin
I was born to just walk the line
Chorus:
Livin on tulsa time, livin on tulsa time
Well you know Ive been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Livin on tulsa time
Where there I was in hollywood
Wishing I was doing good
Talking on telephone line
But they dont need me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
Guess Im just wasting time
Well then I got to thinking
Man Im really sinking
And I really had a flash this time
I had no business leaving
And nobody would be grieving
If I went on back to tulsa time

Tulsa Time
By danny flowers
Well, I left oklahoma
Driving in a pontiac,
Just about to lose my mind.
I was going to arizona,
Maybe on to california
Where people all live so fine.
My mother says Im crazy,
My baby calls me lazy,
But Im gonna show them all this time
cause you know I aint no fool and
i dont need no more damn schoolin.
I was born to just walk the line.
Living on tulsa time.
Living on tulsa time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
cause you know that Ive been through it.
Living on tulsa time.
So there I was in hollywood,
Thinking I was doing good,
Talking on the telephone line.
They dont want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs;
My mama says my babys doing fine.
So then I started winking,
Then I started thinking
That I really had a flash this time.
That I had no bussiness leaving,
And nobody would be grieving;
You see Im on tulsa time.

Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa
Love is so beautiful
When everything is fine
But when it is like hers and mine
It lives and dies at least
Ten Thousand
Times
Chorus:
Tell me something bad about Tulsa
How those old oil wells
Smell in the wind
Tell me something bad about Tulsa
So I wont have to go back
Believing I belong there
Again
Eyes as blue as Tulsa skis
I kept getting lost in when I met her
Hair like Oklahoma sand
I could run my hands through forever
But all good things must end
All rivers have to bend
I keep runnin out
But she keeps pullin me back in
REPEAT CHORUS:
Tell me something bad about Tulsa
So I wont have to go back
Believing I belong there
Again

Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa
(burt bacharach / hal david)
Dearest, darlin
I had to write to say that I wont be home anymore
For something happened to me
As I was driving home
And Im not the same anymore
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
I saw the welcoming light
And stopped to rest for the night
And that is when I saw him
As I pulled in outside of a small hotel
He was there
And so I walked up to him
Asked where I could get something to eat
And he showed me where
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
He took me to the cafe
And he asked me if I would stay
I said okay
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
The jukebox started to play
And nighttime turned into day
As we were dancing closely
All of a sudden I lost control as he held me tight
And then he kissed me, caressed me
Told me he would die before he would let me out of his arms
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you
But Ive found somebody new
What can I do?
And I could never, never, never go home again

Take Me Back To Tulsa
[chorus]
Take me back to tulsa, Im too young to marry
Take me back to tulsa, Im too young to marry
You see that girl with the red dress on,
Some folks call her dinah
Stoled my heart away from me
Way down in louisiana
[chorus]
The big bee sucks the blossom
And the little bee makes the honey
Poor man throws the cotton
And the rich man makes the money
[chorus]
We travel all over this country wide
Playing music by the hour
Always wear this great big smile
We never do look sour

Would I go...
You ...
Let me off ...
And Ill walk down to greenwood

The Day She Left Tulsa
We were half a mile high
on the Ferris Wheel
In our own county fair
I didn't even know we had trouble
until she told me way up there
That's when my life sarted standin round
and my world came crashin to the ground
Chorus:
The day she left Tulsa..........
In a chevy in a hurry in the pourinn down rain
where the caution lights flashin in the passin lane
on the bridge I watched our dreams go down the drain.
In a chevy in a hurry in the pourin down rain
and no she wasn't showin yet
but she'd be by Christmas time
But up there like a fool
I took for granted it was mine
she never came out and told me I was wrong
but all of a sudden the light came on
Chorus
I guess she thought the truth would
end up driving me away
but she was wrong
but I never had the chance to say
The day she left Tulsa.........
In a chevy in a hurry in the pourin down rain (2x)

Tulsa Turnaround
Oh Lord I wish I had never been sto-oned
'Cause when I get high I can't leave the women alone
Omaha Sherriff and his broad gettin' ready for slaughter
Their lookin' for the man that turned on the mayor's daughter
Omaha honey had a hold on a hell of a thing
Down in a hollo', every evening you can hear her sing
She said, monkey but showed me the Tulsa Turnaround
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down
Fit me like a hand in a glove, taught me how to love - y'a-all
Five miles of road between me and my house
A rosy-throat sherriff and his deputy trackin' me down
Well I wish I was back at Bacon, takin' it easy
But if a man's gonna eat fried chicken he's got to be greasy
Omaha honey had a hold on a hell of a thi-ing
Down in a hollo' every evening you can hear her si-ing
She said that monkey but showed me the Tulsa Turnaround
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down
Fit me like a hand in a glove, taught me how to love - y'a-all
Omaha honey had a hold on a hell of a thing
Down in a hollo' every evening you can hear her si-ing
She said, monkey but showed me the Tulsa Turnaround
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down
Fit me like a hand in a glove, taught me how to love - y'a-all

No she wasnt showing yet but shed be by christmas time
Up there like a fool I took for granted it was mine.

Queen Of The Broken Hearts
By paul dean and mike reno
Both sides are fightin
You dont know who to choose
Youre stuck in the middle
And you cant lose
Both sides are talkin
Youve finally seen the light
Youll get it together
But not tonight
You were born with it
And now you got it
The way you want it
And you dont care
Cause nothins gonna bring you down
You were born with it
And now you got it
And oooh you flaunt it
And you dont care
Cause nothins gonna bring you down,
No...
But shes not that kind of girl
Im tellin all the world
She was born the queen of the broken hearts
She says shell write you letters
But that aint face to face
Shell give you a number
But its not her place...oh
Dont keep her waiting
Now see what you have done
You look in the mirror
It aint no fun
You were born with it
And now you got it
The way you want it
And you dont care
Cause nothins gonna bring you down,
No...
You were born with it
And now you got it
And oooh you flaunt it
And you dont care
Cause nothins gonna bring you down,

But shes not that kind of girl
Im tellin all the world
She was born the queen of the broken hearts
Cause shes not that kind of girl
Im tellin all the world
She was born the queen of the broken hearts
Cause shes not that kind of girl

She was born the queen of the broken hearts

Or cruel, or oh so it seems

She say she doesnt want a man who leans
Still she is my germanic -

Yeah, shes my queen
The things she does, the things she says
People shouldnt treat others that way
But at first I thought I could take it all
Just like poison in a vial
Hey, she was often very vile
But of course, I thought I could take it all
Caroline says that Im not a man
So shell go get it catch as catch can

Cant continue to be only mine

Closin Time At Home
(toby keith/michael crossno)
Budweiser clock says its almost twelve
I tipped the bartender, he rang that old bell
San bernardino nights are great, but they sure dont feel like home
Right now in tulsa theyve turned up the lights
The band has stopped playin, theyve called it a night
Shes makin her way to the front door, I know
She wont be leavin alone
If its midnight in california, must be closin time in oklahoma
I know that shes already danced another night away
And these west coast nights sure seem colder
Knowin somebody elses arms will hold her
Midnight in california means its closin time at home
I thought this distance between us might help me forget
But Ive been here two weeks and it aint happened yet
A change of scenery hasnt done a thing to change her mind
Oh, these west coast nights sure seem colder
Knowin somebody elses arms will hold her
Midnight in california means its closin time at home
Yeah, midnight in california means its closin time at home

Porterville
Its been an awful long time since I been home,
But you wont catch me goin back down there alone.
Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get me hung.
I dont care! I dont care!
They came and took my dad away to serve some time,
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind.
Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin.
I dont care! I dont care!
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
I dont care! I dont care!
Folks were out one night to put me up a fence,
And you can guess that Ive been runnin ever since.
Aint no one thats bout to help, and Ill keep on, I tell myself.
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
Aint no one thats bout to help,
And Ill keep on, I tell myself.
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!

Too Far To Turn Around
Let's set long stretch of highway from Tulsa to Tennessee
You know I had to do it my way may you've got the best of me.
Sometimes at midnight I hear a voice
It echoes in my head, says that I still have a choice.
I could get right, get baptized
Tomorrow I could probably have a pretty good life
But tonight I don't think I'll slow these horses down
There's a full moon, I hear the wolf howl
And one more drink will pull me to the ground
But tonight I've gone too far to turn around.
I should have listened to my mama
All I know is to have one more try
Here's your solidest road to comment
And it feels would just fight
I can't hide, and I can't run
I can still see the smoke from barrel of the gun
What's gone is gone, what's done is done.
Is there a heaven or a hell
Oh, only time will tell.
Yeah. yeah...

Rich Kid
Shes a rich kid
She wears diamond rings
Knows how to walk
Knows everything
About love, shes not too sure
What shes looking for
Fresh from the woods
Out on the street
Shes looking good
Looking so neat
She dont know if she should
cause she dont know
If shes bad or good
She dont care if it
Hurts her father
She dont care if it
Breaks her mother
She dont care anymore
She just wants what
Shes never had before
All she wants is love, shes ready
She wants love
And shes gonna get it
All she needs is love
Shes gotta have it, someone to love
All she wants is love, shes ready
Gotta have love, shell get it
All she needs is love
Shes never had it, someone to love
She was a school boys dream
High school queen
She had it all when she was sixteen
Stayed away from boys
cause she thought shed get hurt
Why did she listen to
Her mothers words
Couldnt go out
Had to stay home
And how she hated
Being on her own
She needs love like everybody else
Now shes gonna
Get some for herself
All she wants is love, shes ready
She wants love
And shes gonna get it
All she needs is love
Shes gotta have it, she needs love
All she wants is love, shes ready
She wants love
And shes gonna get it
All she needs is love
Shes gotta have it, someone ...

Rare, Precious & Gone
Cry baby boy, not tears of joy
The one you held is no longer your toy
Shes got her new boots and her make up on
You can call her your friend
But not your lover again
Shes made it clear as air that this affair is at an end
So what are you doing holding on?
Dont you see shes
Rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
She was soft in your hands, now shes shattered your plans
Im sympathetic but youve got to understand
You tried to squeeze her somewhere
She just dont belong
She was being sincere when she breathed in your ear
As long as there were stars in the night sky shed be near
Even angels get it wrong!
Wont you see shes
Rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Its a subtle trap
Seeding guilt in her mind
But she aint taking your crap
This time
Boy youre out on a line...
Shes a queen among women, a child among queens
The finest thing that your lovesick eyes have ever seen
Shes a rose without a thorn
Shes a peach, shes a prize
A gift in disguise
Shes graceful and colourful and when she grows
Shell be wise
But most of all my friend, shes gone
Gone, gone gone!
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Rare, precious and shes gone
Yes, shes rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Gone, gone gone...
