brody grant - tulsa 1967 lyrics

Loading...

[ponyboy]
i’ve never been out of tulsa before
i wonder what it would be like
i’ve never known anybody to leave
most people get stuck here for life
my brother could’ve been a football star
people say he had a ticket out
my other brother suffers from a broken heart
from a girl he loves who up and moved away

[ponyboy & ensemble]
we got no parents, we fend for ourselves
there’s no one to show us thе way

[ponyboy]
my brothers are trying, but they’rе always out
just working their poor lives away
my name is ponyboy, the youngest of the three
i know there’s so much more to life than what’s in front of me
so i sneak into the movies just to glimpse the other side
rather take a risk and see it than to never even try

when i am looking up and newman’s on the screen
the entire world just melts away
for a moment i’m not worried ’bout a thing
i just sit back and let my favorite movie play
[ponyboy & ensemble]
but unlike in the movies and the books i like to read
nothing in this town plays out the same
they tell me it was different back when we could all agree
somewhere down the line we lost our way

[ponyboy]
we had places to go, we had things to do
so they took one town and they split it in two
all the money went west, take the grease to the east
and a train ran down the belly of the beast
and here we are now, i’m talkin’ to you
when i get to the end, tell me what you would do
in a town that’s torn in two
what’s a greaser from the eastside s’pposed to do?

[ponyboy & ensemble]
this is tulsa 1967
and there’s just one thing you need to know
you got greasers and socs, that’s how it’s always been
and that’s probably how it’s always gonna go

[ponyboy]
in the town that’s torn in two

[ensemble]
and that’s probably how it’s always gonna go
[ponyboy]
what’s a greaser from the eastside s’pposed to do?

[ensemble]
and that’s probably how it’s always gonna go

[ponyboy]
hey, that’s probably how it’s always gonna go
