Dearest darling,

I had to write to say that I won't be home any..more.

cause something happened to me

while I was driving home and I'm not the same anymore.

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,

oh, 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 cafe, I asked her if she would stay.

She said, okay.

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,

ahh, 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,

ahh, only one day away from your arms.

I hate to do this to you, but I found somebody new.

What can I do?

And I can never, never, never.....go home again.
