don t let the sun set on you in tulsa

Waylon Jennings

When I left Tulsa Jamie was an innocent young lady
God only knows why she gave herself to a guy like you
She called me cryin said she was gonna have your baby
You just turned your back on her like all cowards do
I swore I d get you for what you re puttin her through
And the only reason I ain t got you Jamie cried and begged me not to
She still loves you for some reason
But don t let the sun set on you in Tulsa don t let the sun set on you in Tulsa
If the sun goes down on you if you re still here you re goin down too
Don t let the sun set on you in Tulsa

Jamie is the only thing I ever really cared for she don t deserve this kind of shame
She s carryin the child that you re to blame for
You just laughed and said there ain t no way it s gonna get your name
But I swore I d get you for what you re puttin her through
And the only reason I ain t got you Jamie cried and begged me not to
But I ain t through with you yet
Don t let the sun set on you in Tulsa don t let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Better not let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Don t let the sun set on you in Tulsa
