lyrics

(I GO BACK TO TULSA) by K. Dennis

When the distance between us
Feels like endless space
When there's distance between us
My mind floats to a place

I go back to Tulsa
Taking in the wonders of the ancient route
Pops, the Round Barn and the broken brick street
Driving up the road with a walking dream
I go back to Tulsa

When the time between hearts
Beats at a glacial pace
When there's time between hearts
My mind floats to one place

I go back to Tulsa
And an all-star downtown hotel room
The National singing about pigstands
At Cain's Ballroom

I go back to Tulsa
Looking for Asian in old Brookside
Streamline museum
Kissin' that dream in the garden green

When the distance between us
Feels like endless space
I go back to Tulsa
I go back to Tulsa
Take me back to Tulsa
Take me back to Tulsa
