Gene Pitney – Twenty four hours from tulsa
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 anymoreOh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
Ah only one day away from your armsI 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 whereOh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
Ah only one day away from your armsShe took me to a cafe I asked her if she would stay
She said okayOh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
Ah only one day away from your armsOh 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 let her out of my armsOh I was only 24 hours from Tulsa
Ah 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
