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
