Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa Lyrics
Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa - Gene Pitney
Dearest darling 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 twenty four 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
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 caf I asked her
If she would stay she said OK
Oh I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Ah only one day away from your arms
The jukebox started to play and night time
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 would let her out of my arms
Oh I was only twenty four 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
