Dearest darling
I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
'Cause something happened to me
While I was driving home, and I'm not the same anymore
Oh, I was only 24 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 24 hours from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
She took me to the cafรฉ
I asked her if she would stay
She said okay
ย
Oh, I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
Oh, the jukebox started to play
And nighttime 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 24 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
