When i was a young man barely 17
I went on out to Hollywood chasing my dream
Dusty Oklahoma was all I'd ever seen
And i was getting older
Memories of the greyhound
Fade and quickly pass

Lonely restaurant windows
And the empty hourglass
Reflect the human hunger
Of the questions never asked
And i only had my time for spending

(Chorus:)

I'm goin on back to Tulsa just one more time
I'm goin on back to Tulsa just one more time
I'm goin on back to Tulsa just one more time
I've got home sweet Oklahoma on my mind

Now i'm growing younger
And how i just don't know
Life's a lot more happy
And it's movin nice and slow

The past is just some photographs
Of the good friends that I know
And my love is so much better
Yes it is

(Chorus)
