Oh I was only 24 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 something to eat and she showed me where

She took me to a cafe I asked her if she would stay
She said okay

Oh the jukebox started to play
and nightime turned into day as we were dancing 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 let her out of my 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
