BURT BACHARACH - Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa lyrics

rate me

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 anymore

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

Ah, only one day away from your arms

I saw a welcoming light

And stopped to rest for the night

And that is when I saw her

As I pulled in outside of the small hotel 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 "O. K."

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

Ah, only one day away from your arms

The jukebox started to play

And nighttime 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 would let her out of my arms

Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa

Ah, only one day away from your arms

I hate to do this to you

But I love somebody new

What can I do?

And I can never, never, never

Go home again
