    Verse 1
    Passin' 
    through Tulsa 

    at four 
    in 
    the morning 

    Cross
    in' 
    the Arkansas 
    one 
    more 
    time 

    Moon 
    on 
    the 
    river, 

    it's lower 
    than 
    usual 

    Can't 
    get 
    much lower 

    than 
    this gas 
    gauge 
    of mine 

    All 
    the lights 
    in 
    Tulsa 

    would 
    not warm 
    my 
    heart now 

    That 
    is something 
    only 
    you 
    would know 

    I'm 
    passin' 
    through Tulsa 

    at four 
    in 
    the 
    morning 

    But 
    I really 
    got 
    nowhere 
    to 
    go 



    Stoppin' 
    for gas 
    and 

    a bottle 
    of 
    iced 
    tea 

    I 
    asked 
    a kid 
    if he's 
    new 
    around 
    here 

    He's 
    up from Dallas, 

    he 
    moved 
    here 
    in 80 

    I 
    had 
    a hell 
    of 
    a 
    fu
    ture 
    that 
    year 

    Mov
    in' 
    and shakin', 

    I 
    was 
    always in 
    motion 

    My 
    name 
    in the 
    papers, 

    and 
    mine 
    in 
    the 
    known 

    Now 
    I'm 
    passin' 
    through Tunnelside, 

    four 
    in 
    a 
    row 

    But 
    I really 
    got nowhere 
    to 
    go 

    The 
    sun's comin' 
    up 

    in my 
    rearview 
    mirror 

    Now 
    openin' 
    a white, 
    blue sky 

    I 
    hope 
    the sun 
    helps 
    me 

    see 
    things 
    clearer 
    now 

    A mile 
    after 
    meaning, 
    this mile 
    rolls 
    by 

    Up 
    in 
    the visor 

    I 
    stash 
    all 
    my photograph
    s 

    All 
    of 
    them taken 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    ago 

    You in 
    the swimming 
    pool, 

    you 
    on 
    your bicycle 

    You 
    on 
    the river 
    at 
    Cape 
    Girardeau

    Gone 
    with 
    the 
    Arkansas 

    swept 
    by 
    the current 
    now 

    Where 
    you 
    and I 
    only, 

    you 
    and God 
    know 
    me 

    I'm passin' 
    through Tulsa 

    at 4 
    in 
    the 
    morn' 

    But 
    I really 
    got 
    nowhere 
    to 
    go 



    The 
    sun
    's coming 
    up 

    in my 
    rearview 
    mirror 
    now 

    Opening 
    a 
    wide 
    blue 
    sky 

    I 
    hope 
    the sun 
    helps 
    me 

    see 
    things 
    clearer 
    now 

    My 
    left 
    arm aching 
    as my 
    rolls 
    by 

    Up 
    in 
    the 
    visor 

    I 
    stash 
    all 
    my photographs 

    All 
    of 
    them taken 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    ago 

    You 
    in 
    the swimming 
    boot, 

    you 
    on 
    your bicycle 

    You 
    on 
    the river 
    at 
    Cape 
    Gir
    ardeau 

    Gone 
    with 
    the 
    Arkansas 

    swept 
    by 
    the current 
    now 

    Where 
    you 
    are now 

    only 
    you 
    and God 
    know 
    me 

    I'm passing 
    through Tulsa 

    at four 
    in 
    the 
    morning 

    But 
    I really 
    got 
    nowhere 
    to 
    go 

    I'm 
    passing 
    through 
    Tulsa 

    at 
    four 
    in 
    the 
    morning 

    But 
    I really 
    got 
    nowhere 
    to 
    go 

    Thank 
    you.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
