Twenty-Four Hours from Tulsa

The jukebox started to play
Oh, I was only 24 hours from Tulsa

Oh, I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
And so I walked up to him, asked where I could get something
Oh, only one day away from your arms
For somethin' happened to me as I was driving home
And stopped to rest for the night

And he asked me if I would stay, I said okay
And I saw a welcoming light
But I found somebody new, what can I do
And then he kissed me, caressed me
He took me to a cafe
Oh, I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
As we were dancing closely all of a sudden

And that is when I saw him as I pulled in outside

And nighttime turned into day

Oh, only one day away from your arms
Oh, only one day away from your arms
Told me, he'd die before he would let me out of his arms
Of the small motel he was there
Oh, only one day away from your arms
I lost control, as he held me tight
To eat and he showed me where
And I'm not the same anymore

Oh, I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
I hate to do this to you
