DEAREST
DARLIN'
I HAD TO WRITE
TO SAY THAT
I WON'T BE HOME
ANYMORE
'CAUSE SOMETHING
HAPPENED
TO ME
WHILE I WAS
DRIVIN' HOME AND
I'M NOT THE SAME
ANYMORE
OH I WAS ONLY
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS
FROM TULSA
AH 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
A SMALL MOTEL
SHE WAS THERE
AND SO I WALKED UP
TO HER
ASKED WHERE
I COULD GET
SOMETHIN' 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 CAFÉ
I ASKED HER
IF SHE WOULD STAY
SHE SAID
OK
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 DANCIN'
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
GO HOME AGAIN
