Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa

Dearest darlingI had to write to say that I won't be home anymoreCause something happened to meWhile I was driving home and I'm not the same anymoreOh, I was only twenty-four hours from TulsaAh, only one day away from your armsI saw a welcoming nightAnd stopped to rest for the nightAnd that is when I saw herAs I pulled in outside of the small hotel she was thereAnd so I walked up to herAsked where I could get something to eat and she showed me whereOh, I was only twenty-four hours from TulsaAh, only one day away from your armsShe took me to the cafeI asked her if she would stayShe said "O. K."Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from TulsaAh, only one day away from your armsThe jukebox started to playAnd nighttime turned into dayAs we were dancing closelyAll of a sudden I lost control as I held her charmsAnd I caressed her kissed herTold 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 youBut I love somebody newWhat can I doAnd I can never, never, neverGo home again
