Twenty-four Hours From Tulsa:
Gene Pitney.
#1.
Dearest darling,
I had to write to say that I won't be home any..more.
cause something happened to me
while I was driving home and I'm not the same anymore.
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,
oh, only one day away from your arms.
I saw a welcoming light, and stopped to rest for the night.
#2.
And that is when I saw her
as I pulled in outside of the 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 twenty-four hours from Tulsa,
ah, only one day away from your arms.
She took me to the cafe, I asked her if she would stay.
She said, okay.
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa,
ahh, only one day away from your arms.
The jukebox started to play, and night time turned into day.
#3.
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-four hours from Tulsa,
ahh, only one day away from your arms.
I hate to do this to you, but I found somebody new.
What can I do?
And I can never, never, never.....go home again.
