Tulsa

They got problems on the tarmac Couldn't get it off the ground I got baggage unclaimed Left spinning on the carousel I need a cigarette and a phone call Recount the million ways it's all gone wrong To end up anywhere except where I started from I got time Nowhere to go Money in my pocket and nothing to spend it on I got friends that I don't see They don't answer when I call Tulsa you never been a welcome sight at all Step off a greyhound bus in the middle of downtown Check my pockets for cab fare and watch the rain come falling down They got lights still up from the holidays Left spinning the wheels of my old suitcase The only faces are strangers no one's waiting there for me I got time nowhere to go Money in my pocket and nothing to spend it on And I got friends that I don't see They don't answer when I call Tulsa you never been a welcome sight at all The rain pools at my feet I count the steps I take in a mile Each breath that I can see Leaves a momentary trail behind If anyone asks for me I'll be hole up in my room And hope to leave again Feels like I'm sinking in I got time nowhere to go Money in my pocket it ain't enough to get me home And I got friends that I don't see They don't answer when I call Tulsa you never been a welcome sight at all Tulsa you never been a welcome sight at all
