Burt Bacharach - Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa Lyrics

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 night
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
