Dearest darlin i had to write to say that i won't be home anymore
Cos somethin 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 a 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 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
