Tom Paxton - Pa**ing Through Tulsa lyrics

Pa**ing thru Tulsa at four in the morning Crossing the Arkansas one more time Moon on the river, it's lower than usual Can't get much lower than this gas gauge of mine All the lights in Tulsa could not warm my heart now That is something only you would know I'm pa**ing thru Tulsa at four in the mornin' But I've really got nowhere to go Stoppin' for gas and a bottle of ice tea I asked the kid if he's new around here He's up from Dallas; he moved here in eighty I had a hell of a future that year Movin' and shakin', I was always in motion My name in the papers, a man in the know Now I'm pa**ing thru Tulsa at four in the morning But I've really got nowhere to go Sun comin' up in my rear view mirror now Openin' the wide blue skies I hope the sun helps me see things clearer now As mile after meaningless mile roll by Up in the visor I stash all my photographs All of them taken a long time ago You in the swimming pool, you on your bicycle You on the river at Cape Girardeau Gone with the Arkansas, swept by the current now Where you are now only you and God know Me, I'm pa**ing thru Tulsa at four in the morning But I've really got nowhere to go Sun's comin' up in my rear view mirror now Openin' the wide blue skies I hope the sun helps me see things clearer now As mile after meaningless mile roll by Up in the visor I stash all my photographs All of them taken a long time ago You in the swimming pool, you on your bicycle You on the river at Cape Girardeau Gone with the Arkansas, swept by the current now Where you are now only you and God know Me, I'm pa**ing thru Tulsa at four in the morning But I've really got nowhere to go I'm pa**ing thru Tulsa at four in the morning But I've really got nowhere to go
