Leon Russell - Leon Russell And The Shelter People

Home Sweet Oklahoma

When I was just a young man I was barely seventeen
I went out to Hollywood chasing my dreams
Dusty Oklahoma was all I'd ever seen
And I was getting older

Memories of the Greyhound fade and quickly pass
The lonely restroom windows, the empty hourglass
Reflect the human hunger of the questions I never asked
I only had my time for spending

But I'm going back to Tulsa one more time
Going back to Tulsa one more time
Going back to Tulsa one more time
I've got home sweet Oklahoma on my mind

Growing younger now, how I just don't know
Life's a lot more happy and it moves really slow
The past is just some photographs of the good friends that I know
But my love is so much better, yes, it is

I'm going back to Tulsa one more time
I'm going back to Tulsa one more time
Going back to Tulsa one more time
I've got home sweet Oklahoma on my mind
