Tulsa Queen

(Rodney Crowell - Emmylou Harris)



I heard the train in the Tulsa night

Calling out my name, looking for a fight

But 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.



And 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 cryin' cause I won't see you again. hey, hey, hey



And I want to ride like a Tulsa Queen

calling out to you like she calls to me

As far away from Tulsa

As these ten wheels can be.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
