Dearest darlin’ I had to write to say that I won’t be home anymore. For something happened to me as I was driving home and I’m not the same anymore. CHORUS: Oh I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa oh only one day away from your arms. I saw the welcoming light and stopped to rest for the night. #2. And that is when I saw him as I pulled in outside of a small hotel he was there. And so I walked up to him asked where I could get something to eat and he showed me where. CHORUS: Oh I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa oh only one day away from your arms. He took me to the cafe and he asked me if I would stay. I said okay. INTERLUDE: CHORUS: Oh I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa oh only one day away from your arms. #3. The jukebox started to play and night time 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 he would die before he would let me out of his arms. OUTRO: Oh I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa oh only one day away from your arms. I hate to do this to you but I’ve found somebody new. What can I do? And I could never never never go home again. (aaa-ooo..aaa-ooo..aaa-ooo) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
