Woah
Oh yeah
I left Oklahoma, drivin’ in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was goin’ to Arizona
Maybe on to California
Where the people all live so fine
Baby called me crazy
Mama called me lazy
I was gonna show ’em all this time
‘Cause you know I ain’t no foolin’
And I don’t need no more schoolin’
I was born to just walk the line
Livin’ on Tulsa time
Livin’ on Tulsa time
Well I set my watch back to it
Cause you’ll know I been through it
I’m livin’ on Tulsa Time
Yeah
There I was in Hollywood
Wishin’ I was doin’ good
Talkin’ on the telephone line
But they don’t need me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
I guess, I’m just a wastin’ time
Then I got to thinkin’
Man I’m really sinkin’
An I really had a flash this time
That I had no business leavin’
An nobody would be grievin’
If I went on back to Tulsa time
Now I’m livin’ on Tulsa time
I’m livin’ on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
‘Cause you know I ah been through it
I’m livin’ on Tulsa time
I’m livin’ on Tulsa time
Just livin’ on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
‘Cause you know I ah been through
I’m livin’ on Tulsa time

Lights turned way down low, and music soft and slow
With someone you love so
That’s where it’s at
Your heart beating fast
You’re knowing time will pass, but hoping that it lasts
That’s where it’s at
That’s where it’s at, pretty baby
That’s where it’s at
That’s where it’s at, pretty baby
That’s where it’s at, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
Your world turned upside down
You’re making not a sound
No one else around
That’s where it’s at
She says it’s time to go and you say, “Yes I know”
Just wait one minute more
That’s where it’s at
That’s where it’s at, pretty baby
That’s where it’s at
That’s where it’s at, pretty baby
That’s where it’s at, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
That’s where it’s at, pretty baby
That’s where it’s at
That’s where it’s at, pretty baby
That’s where it’s at, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
Lights turned way down low, and music soft and slow
With someone you love so
That’s where it’s at

Just yesterday mornin’, they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I woke up this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can’t remember who to send it to
I’ve seen fire, I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
Won’t you look down upon me, Jesus?
You’ve got to help me make a stand
Just help to see me through another day
My body’s aching and my time is at hand
I won’t make it any other way
I’ve seen fire, I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
I’ve been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows, when the cold wind blows
It’ll turn your head around
Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
I’ve seen fire, I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
One more time again, now
Thought I’d see you one more time again
There’s just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I’d see you, thought I’d see you, fire and rain, now

Yeah
You’re up on your feet now baby
And you’re leaving me all alone yeah
When you know that my nose is
Right down to the ground and stone
You rode this gravy train girl
Since the day I met you
But you know what goes around
Has got to come around too
Cause it’s up and down world
It’s up and down world
It might be cold sometimes
But it’s up and down world
It might be nice and warm today
Tomorrow might be dreary and cold
I met a hobo the other day
A city once had his weight in gold
So go on ahead pretty baby
You know I’ll gladly set you free
Cause I know that ol sun up there
Will one day rise and shine for me
Cause it’s up and down world
It’s up and down world
It might be cold sometimes
But it’s up and down world
You up on your feet now baby
Then you’re leaving leaving me all alone
Oh baby, baby, baby
Just like I knew you would
Yeah yeah up on your feet now baby

Just because you’re pretty, and you think you’re awful wise
You tell me that you love me, then you roll your big brown eyes
When I saw you last week, your eyes were turnin’ black
Oh go find the guy who beat you up, ask him to take you back
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you’ve been out on a spree
Well it’s plain that you’re lyin’
When you say that you’ve been cryin’
So don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I used to spend my money to make you look real sweet
I wanted to be proud of you when we walked down the street
Now don’t ask me to dress you up in satin or in silk
Your eyes look like two cherries in a glass of buttermilk
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you’ve been out on a spree
Well it’s plain that you’re lyin’
When you say that you’ve been cryin’
So don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me
Looks like our romance has finally simmered down
You should join the circus cause you’d make a real good clown
Your eyes look like a road map, I’m scared to smell your breath
You’d better shut your peepers girl before you bleed to death
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you’ve been out on a spree
Well it’s plain that you’re lyin’
When you say that you’ve been cryin’
So don’t roll your bloodshot eyes at me
Oh baby, don’t roll your bloodshot eyes at me
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me
I can tell you’ve been out on a spree
Well it’s plain that you’re lyin’
When you say that you’ve been cryin’
So don’t roll your bloodshot eyes at me
Oh baby, don’t roll your bloodshot eyes at me (x2)

It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could tell that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And when the young monsieur and madame had rung the chapel bell
“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ales
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin’ worked out well
“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
Yeah baby
They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, and rhythm and jazz
When the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They bought a souped-up jitney, ’twas a cherry red ’53
Rode it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there that Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle
“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
Yeah-yeah, uh huh
Yeah-yeah

Oh, when the sun beats down and melts the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah-yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I’ll be
(Under the boardwalk) Up out the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We’ll be havin’ some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We’ll be fallin’ in love
Under the boardwalk, yeah, boardwalk
From down the street you hear the happy sound of the carousel
You can almost taste the hot dogs and french fries they sell
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah-yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I’ll be
(Under the boardwalk) Up out the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We’ll be havin’ some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We’ll be fallin’ in love
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah-yeah-yeah yes
On a blanket with my baby is where I’ll be
Woah-oah-oah
On a blanket with my baby is where I’ll be
Me and my baby
On a blanket with my baby is where I’ll be

If my words could glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on a harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice comin’ through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own
It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they’re better left unsung
I don’t know, don’t really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
Ripple in still water
Where there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty
If your cup is full, may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
Oh yeah
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
If you should go, no one may guide you
That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water
Where there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
If you choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who’s to guide you
If I knew the way I would take you home

Somebody changed the lock on my door
And my key, it won’t fit in my lock no more
I’ve been standin’ on my front porch all night long
And I know something is definitely goin’ on wrong
The lights are dimmed
The shades are way down low
And I knock knock knock knock until my fists got sore
Somebody changed the lock on my door
Ohh and my key, it won’t fit in my lock no more
Yeah somebody
Somebody changed the lock on my door
And my key, it won’t fit in my lock no more
I’ve been standin’ on my front porch all night long
And I know something is definitely goin’ on wrong
Well the lights are dimmed
The shades are way down low
And I knock knock knock knock until my fists got sore
Well the lights are dimmed
The shades are way down low
And I knock knock knock knock until my fists got sore
Somebody changed the lock on my door
And my key, it won’t fit in my lock no more
No no no no
I said my key, it won’t fit in my lock no more
Ohh, I said my key
It won’t fit in my lock no more
