Dusty Springfield - Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa Lyrics
(burt bacharach / hal david)Dearest, darlinI had to write to say that I wont be home anymoreFor something happened to meAs I was driving homeAnd Im not the same anymoreOh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsaOh, only one day away from your armsI saw the welcoming lightAnd stopped to rest for the nightAnd that is when I saw himAs I pulled in outside of a small hotelHe was thereAnd so I walked up to himAsked where I could get something to eatAnd he showed me whereOh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsaOh, only one day away from your armsHe took me to the cafeAnd he asked me if I would stayI said okayOh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsaOh, only one day away from your armsThe jukebox started to playAnd nighttime turned into dayAs we were dancing closelyAll of a sudden I lost control as he held me tightAnd then he kissed me, caressed meTold me he would die before he would let me out of his armsOh, I was only twenty-four hours from tulsaOh, only one day away from your armsI hate to do this to youBut Ive found somebody newWhat can I do?And I could never, never, never go home again
