Dont Let Sun Set On You

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: (A tone higher)
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: (A tone higher)
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 bis: (A tone higher)
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
