24 Hours From Tulsa lyrics

Dearest, darlin'
I had to write
to say that I won't
be home anymore

'Cause somethin'
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 a
small motel she was there

And so I walked up to her
asked where I could
get somethin' 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

A 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
