Verse 1:
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 crying, said she was going to have your baby
But you just turned your back on her like all cowards do
Verse 2:
I swore I`d get you for what you`re putting her through
And the only reason I ain`t got you
Is Jamie cried and begged me not to
She still loves you for some reason
Chorus:
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 going down to
Don`t let the sun set on you in Tulsa
Verse 3:
Jamie`s the only thing i ever really cared for
She don`t deserve this kind of shame
She`s carrying a child that you`re to blame for
You just laughed and said there ain`t no way he`s gonna get your name
Verse 4:
I swore I`d get you for what you`re putting her through
And the only reason I ain`t got you
Is Jamie cried and begged me not to
But I ain`t through with you yet
Chorus:
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
