          E
Before I woke up this mornin',
I done knew where he went
            A
He hid the keys to my car, smoked my last cigarette
            B
Well, that good-for-nothin’ mothertruckin'
son of a gun
         E       D#       D
I don't need to know her name
       C#     B    A    G   E
’cause I can tell you which one

Chorus:
                 E
He went back to Tulsa
                                A
Put some miles on that adios Tacoma
                         B
And I ain't talkin' Oklahoma
'Cause it ain't what you think
             E       D#       D
But if you spell it back-to-front,
     C#     B    A  G  E
you gonna know what I mean

Bet he's thinkin' that I'm cryin’,
couldn’t be more wrong
He done got his ass kicked out,
he did it all on his own
I took every last bit and threw it out in the grass
He can pick up his shit if he ever comes back

Chorus:
He went back to Tulsa
Put some miles on that adios Tacoma
And I ain't talkin’ Oklahoma
'Cause it ain't what you think
But if you spell it back-to-front,
you gonna know what I mean
He went back to Tulsa

Hon, you done me a favor and I ain't angry with you
Babe, there’s millions of Tulsas
and you'll be singin' this soon
I hate to break it to ya, but you're
'bout to find out
He's a real P.O.S. and he's your problem now

Chorus:
He went back to Tulsa (Where'd he go?)
Put some miles on that adios Tacoma
You know that I ain't talkin' Oklahoma
'Cause it ain't what you think
But if you spell it back-to-front,
you gonna know what I mean
He went back to Tulsa
Put some miles on that adios Tacoma
And I ain't talkin' Oklahoma
'Cause it ain't what you think
But if you spell it back-to-front,
you gonna know what I mean
He went back to Tulsa (Woo, woo)

I hope he stays there
