lirik lagu twenty four hours from tulsa – burt bacharach
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
