Dearest darlin'
I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
'Cause somethin' happened to me
While I was drivin' home and I'm not the same anymore

Oh, I was only (Only) twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Only (Only) one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming light and stopped to rest for the night

And that was 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 (Only) twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Only (Only) one day away from your arms
She took me to the café, I asked her if she would stay
She said, "Okay"

Oh, I was only (Only) twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Only (Only) one day away from your arms
The jukebox started to play and nighttime turned into day

As we were dancin' closely
All of a sudden, I lost control and fell for her charms
And so I kissed her, caressed her
Told her I'd die before I would let her out of my arms
