Twenty-Four Hours from Tulsa
Dearest darling I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore'Cause something happened to me while I was driving homeAnd I'm not the same anymoreOh, I was only twenty four hours from TulsaAh, only one day away from your armsI saw a welcoming light and stopped to rest for the nightAnd that is when I saw her as I pulled in outside of the small motel she was thereAnd so I walked up to her, asked where I could get something to eatAnd she showed me where.Oh, I was only twenty four hours from TulsaAh, only one day away from your armsShe took me to the café, I asked her if she would stay, she said "OK"Oh, I was only twenty four hours from TulsaAh, only one day away from your armsThe 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 charmsAnd I caressed her, kissed her, told her I'd die Before I would let her out of my armsOh, I was only twenty four hours from TulsaAh, only one day away from your armsI hate to do this to you but I love somebody new, what can I do?And I can never, never, never go home again.
