Gene Pitney 24 Hours From Tulsa Lyrics

24 Hours From Tulsa Lyrics

Dearest darlin I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
cos
somethin happend to me while I was driving home 
and I'm not the same
anymore

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

Oh I was only 24 hours from
Tulsa
ah only one day away from your arms

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

Oh I was only 24 hours from
Tulsa 
ah only one day away from your arms

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

Oh I was only 24
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
