Gene Pitney – Twenty four hours from tulsa

Gene Pitney – Twenty four hours from tulsa

 

 

Dearest darling I had to write to say that I won’t be home anymorecause something happened to me while I was driving homeAnd I’m not the same anymore
Oh I was only 24 hours from TulsaAh only one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming light and stopped to rest for the nightAnd that is when I saw herAs I pulled in outside of a small motelShe was there and so I walked up to herAsked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where
Oh I was only 24 hours from TulsaAh only one day away from your arms
She took me to a cafe I asked her if she would stayShe said okay
Oh I was only 24 hours from TulsaAh only one day away from your arms
Oh the jukebox started to playAnd night time turned into day as we were dancing closelyAll of a sudden I lost control as I held her charmsAnd I caressed her, kissed herTold her I’d die before I let her out of my arms
Oh I was only 24 hours from TulsaAh only one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to youBut I love somebody newWhat can I doAnd I can never never never go home again
