Tulsa Time

Okay.

What are we going to do? I think the obvious song that I'm thinking about, and I've done it before because it's a no-brainer, is Tulsa Time.

Do we? Can we? Roger, are you promising a collaboration? Say it.

You're going to do it.

I mean,

I'm going to do a song together.

Have you done Tulsa time for playing Tulsa before?

Oh, sure.

Oh, I love this one.

Cody, you triggered me because if you, like Reverend Dan or some of the OGs around here who've seen my band play, Living on Tulsa Time is a song we do in the band, and I am going to change it.

I'm going to rewrite that to Tongue of Time.

There we go.

Hank in Tennessee.

The, the first song I always think of is Tulsa Time.

You know, the first song I always think of is I, I Believe In You.

« I don't believe a thing.

17 career number one hits, including Some Broken Hearts Never Mend.

Oh, that one, yes.

And Tulsa Time.

Mm-hmm.

The gentle giant grew up in the small town of Floydada, Texas, where life moved at a pace that suited him just fine.

Funny part? In Nashville, where everybody's in a hurry to make the next hit, Don made slowing down sound like the smartest career move of all.

As a matter of fact, Don was quoted as saying, he said, Here's Don Williams.

This is called Tulsa Time, Exit Country.

I was going to Arizona, maybe on to California where the people all live so fine.

My baby said I was crazy.

No more schooling.

So what I've got so far is Tulsa Time by Caitlin Butts, The Climb by Bailey Zimmerman, Landslide by Flatland Calvary, Graveyard Whistling by Morgan Mullen, and Hurt by Johnny Cash.

Okay.

Very stacked.

Who's leaving?

I'm so sorry.

I'm going to have to kick out Tulsa Time by Caitlin Budd.

Oh, Caitlin is out and Dolly's Purple Rain in.

I was going to Arizona, maybe on to California, where the people all live so fine.

I was in Hollywood, wishing I was doing good Talking on the telephone line But they don't need me in the movies And nobody sings my songs Guess I'm just a-wasting time Well, then I got to thinking Man, I'm really sinking And I really had a flash this time I had no business leaving and nobody would be grieving if I went on back to Tulsa time.
