Tulsa Turnaround

Kenny Rogers


Oh Lord, I wish I had never been stoned 
'Cause when I get high I can't leave the women alone 
Omaha Sherriff and his broad gettin' ready for slaughter 
Their lookin' for the man that turned on the mayor's daughter. 

Omaha honey, had a hold on a hell of a thing 
Down in a hollo', every evening you can hear her sing 
She said, monkey but showed me the Tulsa Turnaround 
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down 
Fit me like a hand in a glove, taught me how to love, y'all. 

Five miles of road between me and my house 
A rosy-throat sherriff and his deputy trackin' me down 
Well, I wish I was back at Baton, takin' it easy 
But if a man's gonna eat fried chicken he's got to be greasy. 

Omaha honey, had a hold on a hell of a thing 
Down in a hollo' every evening you can hear her sing 
She said that monkey but showed me the Tulsa Turnaround 
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down 
Fit me like a hand in a glove, taught me how to love, y'all. 

Omaha honey, had a hold on a hell of a thing 
Down in a hollo' every evening you can hear her sing 
She said, monkey but showed me the Tulsa Turnaround 
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down 
Fit me like a hand in a glove, taught me how to love, y'all...
