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

They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast

Seven hundred little records, all rock, and rhythm and jazz

But 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

Yeah, they bought a souped-up jitney, ’twas a cherry red ’53

They rode it down to Orleans to celebrate their 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, wooo

“C’est la vie”, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell

Yeah-yeah, wooo-oo

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
