TULSA 121311 - ONE MORE

Written back in 1969 when Barbara and I were visiting friends of friends in Tulsa.

TULSA

When the sun has gone down
And the storm has passed over Tulsa
And the ponds are refilling
The people rest easy in Tulsa

I know ‘cause I’ve been there
Not too long ago
I know ‘cause I went there
I’m telling you so
It’s a turnpike and Turner
Is taking it’s toll near Tulsa
66 runs nearby
And there’s death
on the highway near Tulsa
*
Where the turtles are crossing
There’s death on the highways near Tulsa
And you’ll find armadillos asleep
On the byways near Tulsa
*
Well, there’s Robert and Shirle
and Michael and Diane in Tulsa
And they’ve got 40 acres of dreams
That are buried near Tulsa

I know ‘cause I’ve been there
Not too long ago
I know ‘cause I went there
I’m telling you so…
