Standard (EADGBE)

Dearest darling,

 I had to write to say that I won't be home any..more.

 cause something happened to me

 while I was driving home and I'm not the same anymore.

 Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,

 oh, 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.

 Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,

 ah, only one day away from your arms.

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

She said, okay.

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,

 ahh, 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.

 Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,

 ahh, only one day away from your arms.

 I hate to do this to you, but I found somebody new.

 What can I do?

 And I can never, never, never.....go home again.
