Take Me Back To Tulsa
This morning I remembered we are traveling to Mountain Home, AR in about a month on personal business, and wondered what sort of adventure we might have. We will fly from Sacramento to Denver, change planes, fly to Tulsa, then drive. Coming back we fly out of Tulsa to Las Vegas, then to Sacramento. Misty has a Funny Story about the last time we flew out of Tulsa.
The first time I heard this song, it was played by Asleep At the Wheel. I had forgotten how cynical the 2nd and 3rd verse are:
“Little bee sucks the blossom, big bee gets the honey,
Little man picks the cotton, big man gets the money.
“Always wear a great big smile, never do look sour.
Travel all over the country, playing by the hour.”
You can also hear it in Bob Wills’ words before, during, and after the song. But that is not the way I feel about this trip!
