dearest darlin’
i had to write to say that
i won’t be home anymore
’cause something happened to me
while i was driving home
and i’m not the same anymore
oh i was only 4 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
oh i was only 4 hours from tulsa
ah only one day away from your arms
she took me to the cafe
i asked her if she would stay
she said okay
oh i was only 4 hours from tulsa
ah only one day away from your arms
the jukebox started to play
and nighttime 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
oh i was only 4 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
