Karaoké Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa Gene Pitney

Dearest darling

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

'Cos 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 motel she was there

And so I walked up to her asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where

Was only twenty four hours from Tulsa

Ah, only one day away from your arms

She took me to the café

I asked her if she would stay she said OK

Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa

Ah, 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 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
