I heard the train in the Tulsa night
Calling out my name looking for a fight
She come a long, long way, got a longer way to go
So tell me how a train from Tulsa has got a right to know

She sings a song, so sad and high
And the Tulsa Queen don't ever lie
And she don't care where she goes
Don't care where she's been
And the Tulsa Queen ain't crying
'Cause I won't see you again

And I want to ride like a Tulsa Queen
Calling out to you as she calls to me
As far away from Tulsa as these ten wheels can be

Lately I speak your name too loud
Each time it comes up in the crowd
And I know it when I do
The Tulsa Queen and you
Are gone
