There's a detour sign
On the road that winds
Out on the broad highway
But the place for me
Is the sign I see
T-U-L-S-A straight ahead
There's a railroad crossing
And the bus a rocking
Just a taking me away
But I'll pass the time
Till I see that sign
T-U-L-S-A straight ahead
I'm gonna settle down
When I reach that city fair
I'm homeward bound
And I know I'll soon be there
Where the tall corn grows
And the black all flows
In old Oak, KLA
In the middle of it all
I hear the call
T-U-L-S-A straight ahead
I'm gonna settle down
When I reach that city fair
I'm homeward bound
And I know I'll soon be there
Well, there's no use talking
Cause I'll get there walking
If there's is no other way
Cause I read that sign
On the old state line
T-U-L-S-A straight ahead
