24 Hours from Tulsa Songtext

von Dusty Springfield

Dearest darling I had to write to say
That I won't be home anymore
For something happened to me
While I was driving home
And I'm not the same anymore

Oh I was only twenty fours 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 him
As I pulled in outside of the small hotel
He was there and so I walked up to him
Asked where I could get something to eat
And he showed me where

Oh I was only twenty fours hours from Tulsa
Ah only one day away from your arms
He took me to the café, I asked him if he would stay
He said okay

Oh I was only twenty fours 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 his charms
And I caressed him, kissed him
Told him I'd die before I would let him out of my arms

Oh I was only twenty fours 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 when I can never, never, never
Go home again
