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

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
