When I was a young man barely 17
I went on out to Hollywood chasing my dream
And 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
I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
And I 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 moving 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
I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
And I got home sweet Oklahoma on my mind
Well, I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
And I got home sweet Oklahoma on my mind
Yeah, hey
Yeah, I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
I'm going on back to Tulsa just one more time
And I got home sweet Oklahoma on my mind
When I was a young man barely 17
I went on out to Hollywood chasing my dream
And dusty Oklahoma was all I'd ever seen
And I was getting older
