Tulsa Bound

from Fun Guy by Scott Cooper

/

about

“Tulsa Bound” is the story of a friend and his wife who gave up living in Santa Cruz, CA to move to Tulsa. More than slightly tongue in cheek, it features killer guitar work from my Rosebud bandmate Fred Rodriguez and barrelhouse piano from the great Carl “Sonny” Leyland,

lyrics

Now I lost my money in a poker game
Called California real estate
So I’m packing it in and loading up the truck
Moving to another state

Now I’m Tulsa bound
Tulsa bound
I had up to here with the promised land
Oklahoma here I come

So I shaved my face, took out the nose ring
Cut off these nasty dreads
Donated my favorite tie dye shirt
That I picked up when I saw the Dead

Now I got big house just waiting for me
More space than I can fill
Gonna buy a bunch of things that I don’t need
like bric a brac from Goodwill

Now I’m kicking ass in nowheresville
Sure beats the good life
But I’d rather be the hammer than the nail
Not the butter for the knife
