Dearest, darlin', I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
'cause something, happened, to me while I was drivin' home
And I'm not the same anymore
Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming light, and stopped to rest for the night
And that is when I saw her, as I, pulled in outside of the small motel, she was
there
And so I walked up, to her, asked where I could get something to eat,
And she showed me where.
Oh, I was only, twenty four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
She took me to the café, I asked her if she would stay, she said "OK"
Oh, I was only, twenty four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
The jukebox started to play, and night time turned into day, as we were dancin'
Closely, all of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms
And I caressed her, kissed her, told her I'd die
Before I would let her out of my arms
Oh, I was only, twenty four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you, but I love somebody new, what can I do?
And I can never, never, never---go home again
