Emmylou Harris Tulsa Queen Lyrics

Tulsa Queen Lyrics

(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 

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 ...
