24 Hours From Tulsa Lyrics

Dearest, darling
I had to write to say that I won't be home, any more
For something happened, to me
As I was driving home
And I'm not the same any more
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 him
As I pulled in outside of a small hotel, he was there
And so I walked up, to him
Asked where I could get something to eat
And He, showed me where
Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
he took me to the café
And he asked me if I would stay
And I said, "okay"

Oh, I was only, twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only, one day away from your arms
The jukebox started to play
And nighttime turned in to day
As we were dancing, closely
All of a sudden I lost control as He, held me tight
And then he kissed me, caressed me
Told me he'd died before he would let me out of his 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
