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
