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 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 hotel 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 Only one day away from your arms She took me to the caffe I asked her if she would stay She said, "ok" ♪ Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa, no! Only one day away from your arms I hate to do this to you But I love somebody new What can I do? Well, I could never, never Never go home again
