Gene Pitney - Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa Lyrics
Dearest darlin' I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore'cause something happened to me while I was drivin' homeAnd I'm not the same anymoreOh, I was only twenty four hours from TulsaAh, only one day away from your armsI saw a welcoming light and stopped to rest for the nightAnd that is when I saw her as I pulled in outside of the small motel she was thereAnd so I walked up to her, asked where I could get something to eatAnd she showed me where.Oh, I was only twenty four hours from TulsaAh, only one day away from your armsShe took me to the caf, I asked her if she would stay, she said "OK"Oh, I was only twenty four hours from TulsaAh, only one day away from your armsThe jukebox started to play and night time turned into day as we were dancin'Closely, all of a sudden I lost control as I held her charmsAnd I caressed her, kissed her, told her I'd dieBefore I would let her out of my armsOh, I was only twenty four hours from TulsaAh, only one day away from your armsI hate to do this to you but I love somebody new, what can I do?And I can never, never, never---go home again
