24 Hours From Tulsa

Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa - Dusty Springfield

Dearest

Darlin

I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore

For something happened to me

As I was driving home

And I'm not the same anymore

Oh I was only twenty four hours tulsa

Oh only one day away from your arms

I saw the welcoming light

And stopped to rest for the night

And that is when I saw him

As I pulled in outside of a small hotel

He was there

And so I walked up to him

Asked where I could get something to eat

And he showed me where

Oh I was only twenty four hours from tulsa

Oh only one day away from your arms

He took me to the cafe

And he asked me if I would stay

I said okay

Oh I was only twenty four hours from tulsa

Oh 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 he held me tight

And then he kissed me caressed me

Told me he would die before

He would let me out of his arms

Oh I was only twenty four hours from tulsa

Oh only one day away from your arms

I hate to do this to you

But I've found somebody new

What can I do

And I could never never never

Go home again
