Tulsa      There's a detour sign on the road that winds   Out on the broad highway   But the place for me is the sign I see   T U L S A straight ahead      There's a railroad crossing and the bus-a rockin'   Just-a takin' me away   But I'll pass the time, till I see that sign   T U L S A straight ahead      I'm gonna settle down when I reach that city fair   I'm homeward bound and I know I'll soon be there      Where the tall corn grows and the black all flows   In old Oak, K L A   In the middle of it all I hear the call   T U L S A straight ahead      I'm gonna settle down when I reach that city fair   I'm homeward bound and I know I'll soon be there      Well, there's no use talkin', 'cause I'll get there walkin'   If there's is no other way   'Cause I read that sign on the old state line   T U L S A straight ahead
