Tulsa Turnaround Songtext
von Kenny Rogers & The First Edition

Oh, Lord, I wish I had never been stoned
′Cause when I get high I can't leave the women alone
Omaha Sherriff and his boys gettin′ ready for slaughter
Lookin' for the man that turned on the Mayor's daughter
Omaha honey had a hold on a hell of a thing
Down in the hollow of the evening you could hear her sing
She said, "A funky butt showed me the Tulsa Turnaround
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down
Fit me like a hand in a glove
Taught me how to love, y′all."
Five miles of road between me and the house
Rosy-throat Sherriff and his deputy is draggin′ me down
Well, I wish I was back in Macon takin' it easy


But if a man′s gonna eat fried chicken he's gotta get greasy
Omaha honey had a hold on a hell of a thing
Down in the hollow of the evening you could hear her sing
She said, "A funky butt showed me the Tulsa Turnaround
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down
Fit me like a hand in a glove
Taught me how to love, y′all."
Omaha honey had a hold on a hell of a thing
Down in the hollow of the evening you could hear her sing
She said, "A funky butt showed me the Tulsa Turnaround
Stepped on my toes, turned me on and turned me down
Fit me like a hand in a glove
Taught me how to love, y'all."
