Verse 1:

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

Ah, only one day away from your arms
F G
I saw a welcoming night
F G [N.C.]

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

She said "O. K."

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

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
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
