Verse 1:

Dearest darling

I had to write to say that I won`t be home anymore

`Cause something happened to me
A7 D
While I was driving home and I`m not the same anymore

Chorus 1:

C Am
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa
C Am
Ah, only one day away from your arms
F G
I saw a welcoming night
F G [N.C.]
And stopped to rest for the night

Verse 2:

And that is when I saw her
As I pulled in outside of the small hotel she was there
And so I walked up to her
Asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where

Chorus 2:

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
She took me to the cafe
F G [N.C.]
I asked her if she would stay
[G G G G] [single notes; acoustic bass]
She said O. K.

Chorus 3 [as per chorus 1]:

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

Verse 3:

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

Chorus 4 [as per chorus 2]:

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?

And I can never, never, never
C
Go home again
