Dearest darlin' I had to write to say |
|
That I won't be home anymore |
|
'Cause something happened to me while I was drivin' 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 the 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 took me to the cafe |
|
I asked her if she would stay, she said, "Okay" |
|
Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa |
|
Ah, only one day away from your arms |
|
The jukebox started to play and night time turned into day |
|
As we were dancin' |
|
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 |
