goin' back to tulsa

goin' back to tulsa

i kissed her lips as i was leavin' we had a good cry
she knew i needed freedom i said i'll be back goodbye
man it's been a long time the memory is clear
she said i love you johnny if you need me i'll be here

chorus: i keep goin back to tulsa
to the one i left behind
goin' back to tulsa in my mind
i keep goin' back to tulsa in my mind

now i was in a hurry had to chase a dream
looking back it seems like my dream was chasin' me
and the smoke of burnin' bridges opened up my eyes
she waited and she waited til she ran out of time

repeat chorus

tag: i kissed her lips as i was leavin'
tulsa on my mind
had to chase a dream
tulsa on my mind
said i'll be back baby
tulsa on my mind
she waited and she waited til she ran out of time
i keep goin' back to tulsa
yea goin' back to tulsa
i just keep goin' back to tulsa
only in my mind
