[00:08.16]Dearest darling
[00:11.22]I had to write to say that I won't be home any more
[00:16.21]For something happened to me
[00:20.12]While I was driving home and I'm not the same any more
[00:25.37]Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
[00:31.67]Ah, only one day away from your arms
[00:37.85]I saw a welcoming light
[00:40.80]And stopped to rest for the night
[00:43.80]And that is when I saw her
[00:47.09]As I pulled in outside of the small hotel she was there
[00:52.41]And so I walked up to her
[00:56.21]Asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where
[01:01.48]Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
[01:07.87]Ah, only one day away from your arms
[01:13.93]She took me to the cafe
[01:16.88]I asked her if she would stay
[01:20.28]She said, "Okay"
[01:23.54]
[01:41.25]Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
[01:47.75]Ah, only one day away from your arms
[01:53.89]The jukebox started to play
[01:56.85]And night time turned into day
[01:59.77]As we were dancing closely
[02:03.06]All of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms
[02:08.26]And I caressed her, kissed her
[02:11.86]Told her I'd die before I would let her out of my arms
[02:17.05]Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
[02:23.46]Ah, only one day away from your arms
[02:29.78]I hate to do this to you
[02:32.76]But I love somebody new
[02:35.76]What can I do ?When I can never, never, never go home again?
