Lyrics:

Tekst piosenki:
Dearest darlin'
I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
'cause something 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 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 'OK'

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.
