Time left in states to get to city in Oklahoma (5)
I believe the answer is:
tulsa
'to city in oklahoma' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'time left in states' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'left' becomes 'L' (common abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'states' becomes 'usa' (I've seen this before).
'l' inserted inside 'usa' is 'ulsa'.
't'+'ulsa'='TULSA'
'to get' is the link.
(Other definitions for tulsa that I've seen before include "OK city" , "Oklahoman city" , "Oklahoma city featured in a 1960s pop song" , "City in Oklahoma featured in a 60s song" , "A lust for the Oklahoma oil city?" .)
