This classic song was written by Bob Wills and Tommy Duncan, and while it has a bit of a political commentary in it, it's basically about a young guy who's in love with a girl but too young to marry, and who recognizes that he needs to get out of town and go back home to Tulsa before he gets himself, and her, into trouble. A great tune, played by many over the years, but I've always preferred the original by Wills, with a razor sharp tempo and fiddle playing at its best.
