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.
