The Last Trip To Tulsa
Well, I used to drive a cab, you know
I heard a siren scream
Pulled over to the corner
And I fell into a dream
There were two men eating pennies
And three young girls who cried
The west coast is falling,
I see rocks in the sky.
The preacher took his bible
And laid it on the stool.
He said: with the congregation running,
Why should I play the fool?
Well, I used to be a woman, you know
I took you for a ride,
I let you fly my airplane
It looked good for your pride.
cause youre the kind of man you know
Who likes what he says.
I wonder whats its like
To be so far over my head.
Well, the lady made the wedding
And she brought along the ring.
She got down on her knees
And said: lets get on with this thing.

Keeping managers alive,
When you saw me on a corner
And told me I was jive.
So I unlocked your mind, you know
To see what I could see.
If you guarantee the postage,
Ill mail you back the key.
Well I woke up in the morning
With an arrow through my nose
There was an indian in the corner
Tryin on my clothes.
Well, I used to be asleep you know
With blankets on my bed.
I stayed there for a while
til they discovered I was dead.
The coroner was friendly
And I liked him quite a lot.
If I hadnt ve been a woman
I guess Id never have been caught.
They gave me back my house and car
And nothing more was said.
Well, I was driving down the freeway
When my car ran out of gas.
Pulled over to the station
But I was afraid to ask.
