Dearest darling

I had to write to say that I won’t be home anymore

because something happened to me

While I was driving home and 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 night

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

Ah, only one day away from your arms

She took me to the cafe

I asked her if she would stay

She said "o. k."

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 closely¹

All of a sudden² I lost control as I held her charms³

And I caressed⁴ her kissed her

Told her I 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
