Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa lyrics

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 caf?, I asked her if she would stay, she said `OK`

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
