Dearest darling I had to write to say that I won't be home any more For something happened to me While 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 her As I pulled in outside of the small hotel 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 cafe I asked her if she would stay She 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 night time turned into day As we were dancing 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 ?When I can never, never, never go home again?
