Dearest.......darling,

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

cause something happened....... to me
E7 A
while I was driving home and I'm not the same anymore.
G Em
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,
G Em
oh, only one day away from your arms.

I saw a welcoming light, and stopped to rest for the night.
D
And that is when I......saw her
E7 A
as I pulled in outside of the small motel she was there.
D
And so I walked up........ to her
E7 A
asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where.
G Em
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,
G Em
ah, only one day away from your arms.

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

The jukebox started to play, and night time turned into day.
D
As we were dancing......closely,
E7 A
all of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms.
D
And I caressed her..... kissed her,
E7 A
told her I'd die before I would let her out of my arms.
G Em
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,
G Em
ahh, only one day away from your arms.

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