Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa

Dearest, darlin' I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore For something happened to me As I was driving home And I'm not the same anymore Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa Oh, only one day away from your arms I saw the welcoming light And stopped to rest for the night And that is when I saw him As I pulled in outside of a small hotel He was there And so I walked up to him Asked where I could get something to eat And he showed me where Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa Oh, only one day away from your arms He took me to the cafe And he asked me if I would stay I said ""Okay"" Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa Oh, only one day away from your arms The jukebox started to play And nighttime turned into day As we were dancing closely All of a sudden I lost control as he held me tight And then he kissed me, caressed me Told me he would die before he would let me out of his arms Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa Oh, only one day away from your arms I hate to do this to you But I've found somebody new What can I do? And I could never, never, never go home again
