Dearest darling
I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
Cause something happend 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 a 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 cafe
I asked her if she would stay
She said okay

Oh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
Ah only one day away from your arms

Oh the jukebox started to play
And nightime 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
