24 hours from Tulsa

Dearest
Darling

I had to write to say
That I wont be home anymore
For something happened to me
As I was driving home
And Im not the same anymore

Oh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
Oh 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 him
As I pulled in outside
Of the small motel 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 24 hours from Tulsa
Oh only one day away from your arms
He took me to a cafe
And he asked me if I would stay
I said okay

Oh I was only 24 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 hed die before he would let me out
Of his arms

Oh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
Oh only one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you
But I found somebody new
What can I do
And I can never never never
Go home again
