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
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
