Dearest darling,

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

cause something happened to me
A7 D
while I was driving home and I'm not the same anymore.
C Am
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,
C Am
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

asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where.

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

As we were dancing closely,

all of a sudden I lost control as I held her charms.

told her I'd die before I would let her out of my arms.

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

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

What can I do?
