Dearest darling, |
|
I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore. |
|
'Cause something happened to me |
|
While I was driving 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 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 twenty four hours from Tulsa, |
|
Ah, only one day away from your arms. |
|
She too me to the cafe, |
|
I asked her if she would stay. |
|
She said: O.K. |
|
Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa, |
|
Ah, only one day away from your arms. |
|
A jukebox started to play, |
|
And night 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 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. |
