Home Sweet Oklahoma Lyrics - Shelter People - Leon Russell

When I was a young man barely seventeen 

I went on out to Hollywood chasing my dream 

And dusty Oklahoma was all I'd ever seen 

And I was getting older 

The memories of the greyhound 

Fade and quickly pass 

In the lonely restaurant windows 

And the empty hourglass 

Reflect the human hunger 

For the questions never asked 

And I only had my time for spending

Yes, I'm goin' on back to Tulsa just one more time 

I've got home sweet Oklahoma on my mind 

Oh, I'm growing younger now 

And how I just don't know 

But the feeling's much more happy 

And life it's nice and slow 

The past is just some photographs 

Of the good friends that I know 

And my love is so much better 

Yes it is 

Yeah, I'm goin' on back to Tulsa one more time 

Yes, I'm goin' on down to Tulsa just one more time 

Yes, I'm goin' on back to Tulsa one more time 

Oh, I've got home sweet Oklahoma on my mind
