Ah, only one day away from your arms
As we were dancin'
I hate to do this to you but I love somebody new, what can I do?
And she showed me where
She was there
Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Closely, all of a sudden I lost control
I saw a welcoming light and stopped
And I caressed her, kissed her, told her I'd die
Ah, only one day away from your arms
I asked her if she would stay, she said, "Okay"
She took me to the cafe
And so I walked up to her, asked where I could get something to eat
Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
'Cause something happened to me while I was drivin' home
Before I would let her out of my arms
To rest for the night
Ah, only one day away from your arms
Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
As I held her charms
And that is when I saw her as I pulled in outside of the small motel
And I'm not the same anymore
The jukebox started to play and night time turned into day
Ah, only one day away from your arms
