(Emmylou HarrisRodney Crowell)

I heard the train

In the Tulsa night

Calling out my name

Looking for a fight

She's 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 a crowd

And I know it when I do

The Tulsa Queen and you

Are gone...
