Verse 2

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

of the 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 twenty four hours from Tulsa

Ah, only one day away from your arms

She took me to the café, I asked her if she would stay,
