TULSA QUEEN
Album : Luxury Liner (1977)
(Written by : Emmylou Harris / Rodney Crowell)


I heard the train 
In the Tulsa night 
Calling out my name 
Looking for a fight 
She's come a long, long way 
Got a longer way to go 
So tell me how a train from Tulsa 
Has got a right to know 
She sings a song 
So sad and high 
And the Tulsa Queen 
Don't ever lie 
And she don't care where she goes 
Don't care where she's been 
And the Tulsa Queen ain't crying 
'Cause I won't see you again
Hey Hey Hey 
And I want to ride 
Like a Tulsa Queen 
Calling out to you 
As she calls to me 
As far away from Tulsa 
As these ten wheels can be 
Lately I speak 
Your name too loud 
Each time it comes up 
In a crowd 
And I know it when I do 
The Tulsa Queen and you 
Are gone...
