Waylon Jennings - (DON'T LET THE SUN SET ON YOU IN) TULSA lyrics

When I left Tulsa Jamie was an innocent young lady

God only knows why she gave herself to a guy like you

She called me cryin' said she was gonna have your baby

You just turned your back on her like all cowards do

I swore I'd get you for what you're puttin' her through

And the only reason I ain't got you Jamie cried and begged me not to

She still loves you for some reason

But don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa

If the sun goes down on you if you're still here you're goin' down too

Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa

[ guitar ]

Jamie is the only thing I ever really cared for she don't deserve this kind of shame

She's carryin' the child that you're to blame for

You just laughed and said there ain't no way it's gonna get your name

But I swore I'd get you for what you're puttin' her through

And the only reason I ain't got you Jamie cried and begged me not to

But I ain't through with you yet

Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa

Better not let the sun set on you in Tulsa

Don't let the sun set on you in Tulsa
