Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa - Original Musicor Records Recording

Dearest darling
 I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
 'Cause something happened to me
 While I was driving 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 café
 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 dancing, 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?
 When I can never, never, never go home again
