Too late to Tulsa Lyrics

That cowboy was always rodeo bound

All across the country he'd been travelling around

From Cheyenne to Fort Worth, Santa Fe to Houston

He had his pick of women, but his heart was back in Tulsa

He always meant to call her, but time just slipped away

Caught up in the rodeo just living day to day

He thought she'd always be there, be right by his side

But she'd had enough of his cheating ways, so she told that boy goodbye

He's too late to Tulsa, he let her slip away

Thought that she'd be waiting, he kept putting off the day

Should have held onto that girl, asked her to be his wife

But now she's gone forever, and he'll be chasing his next ride

Now he's back in Tulsa, with a ring in his hand

She moved on, found a new life, found a better man

He should have known better, but that boy let her go

And now he's left with nothing, just a damned old rodeo

He's too late to Tulsa, he let her slip away

Thought that she'd be waiting, he kept putting off the day

Should have held onto that girl, asked her to be his wife

But now she's gone forever, and he'll be chasing his next ride

Saddle up cowboy
