24 Hours from Tulsa Lyrics by Burt Bacharach

The Man! Burt Bacharach: His Songs

0

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 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 where
Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
She too 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
A jukebox started to play
And night 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
