Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa (Live)

Dearest darling, I hate to write to say that I won't be home anymore
Something happened to me while I was driving home
And I'm not the same anymore

I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
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

I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Only one day away from your arms

She took me to the cafe, I asked her if she would stay
She said OK

I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
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

I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Only one day away from your arms

I hate to do this to you, I'm hired of somebody new
What can I do when I can never, never, never go home again
