Ian & Sylvia — Twenty-Four Hours from Tulsa

[Verse 1] Dearest darlin' I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore Something happened to me While I was drivin' home, and I'm not the same anymore [Chorus] I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa Only one day away from your arms [Post-Chorus] I saw the welcomin' light And stopped to rest for the night And that is when I saw her [Verse 2] As I pulled in outside of a small motel she was there So I walked up to her Asked where I could get something to eat And she showed me wherе [Chorus] I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa Only one day away from your arms [Post-Chorus] She took mе to a café I asked her if she would stay She said, "Okay" [Organ Solo] [Chorus] I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa Only one day away from your arms [Post-Chorus] The jukebox started to play And nighttime turned into day As we were dancin' closely [Verse 3] All of a sudden I lost control As I held her charms And I caressed her, kissed her I told her I'd die before I would let her out of my arms [Chorus] I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa Only one day away from your arms [Post-Chorus] I hate to do this to you But I found somebody new What can I do? [Outro] And I can never, never, never Go home again
