Gene Pitney Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa Lyrics

Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa Lyrics

Dearest darling I had to write to say 
That I won`t be home anymore 
For something happened to me 
While I was driving home 
And I`m not the same anymore 
 
Oh I was only twenty fours 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 hotel 
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 fours hours from Tulsa 
Ah only one day away from your arms 
She took me to the café, I asked her if she would stay 
She said okay 
 
Oh I was only twenty fours 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 fours 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 when I can never, never, never 
Go home again
