When I left Tulsa Jamie was an innocent young lady   God only knows why she gave herself to a guy like you   She called me cryin' said she was gonna have your baby   You just turned your back on her like all cowards do   I swore I'd get you for what you're puttin' her through   And the only reason I ain't got you Jamie cried and begged me not to   She still loves you for some reason   But don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa   If the sun goes down on you if you're still here you're goin' down too   Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa   [ guitar ]   Jamie is the only thing I ever really cared for she don't deserve this kind of shame   She's carryin' the child that you're to blame for   You just laughed and said there ain't no way it's gonna get your name   But I swore I'd get you for what you're puttin' her through   And the only reason I ain't got you Jamie cried and begged me not to   But I ain't through with you yet   Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa   Better not let the sun set on you in Tulsa   Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
