Dearest darling,
I have to write to say that I won't be home anymore
'Cos something happenned to me
As I was driving home and I'm not the same anymore
Oh I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Only one day away from your arms
I saw the welcoming light
And stopped to rest for the night
And that is when I saw him
As I pulled in outside of a small hotel, he was there
And so I walked up to him
Asked where I could get something to eat
And he showed me where
Oh I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Only one day away from your arms
He took me to the cafe
And asked me if I would stay
I said okay
BREAK
Oh I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
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 he held me tight
And then he kissed me,
Carressed me
Told me he'd let me die before he let me go from his arms
Oh I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
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 could never, never, never
Go home again
