Dearest darlin' I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore 亲爱的，亲爱的，我不得不写地说，我不会再回家

'cause something happened to me while I was drivin' home “导致一些发生在我身上，而我是赶回家里

And I'm not the same anymore 而我不一样了

Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa 哦，我才二十四从塔尔萨小时

Ah, only one day away from your arms 嗯，只有一天离开你的怀抱

I saw the welcoming light and stopped to rest for the night 我看到了欢迎光停下来休息了一夜

   

And that is when I saw him as I pulled in outside of the small motel he was there 那就是当我看到他为我拉的小旅馆，他在那里之外

And so I walked up to him, asked where I could get something to eat 于是我走到他面前，问在那里我可以吃点东西

And he showed me where. 他给我看。

Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa 哦，我才二十四从塔尔萨小时

He took me to the café, and he asked if I would stay, I said "OK" 他带我去了咖啡厅，他问我是否愿意留下来，我说“OK”

   

Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa 哦，我才二十四从塔尔萨小时

Ah, only one day away from your arms 嗯，只有一天离开你的怀抱

The jukebox started to play and night time turned into day as we were dancin' 点唱机开始播放和晚上的时间变成了一天，我们跳舞

Closely, all of a sudden I lost control as he held me tight 密切配合，一下子我失去了控制，他紧紧地抱着

And he kissed me, carressed me, told me he die 他吻了我， carressed我，告诉我他死了

Before he would let me out of his arms arms 之前，他让我离开他的怀抱双臂

   

Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa 哦，我才二十四从塔尔萨小时

I hate to do this to you but I love somebody new, what can I do? 我讨厌这样对你，但我喜欢新的人选，我该怎么办？

And I can never, never, never---go home again. 我可以永远，永远，永远---再回家。
