Twenty-Four Hours From Tulsa (Mono Version) - Dusty Springfield

Dearest darlin'

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

For something happened to me

As I was driving home

And I'm not the same anymore

Oh I was only twenty-four hours Tulsa

Oh only one day away from your arms

I saw the welcoming light

And stopped to rest for the night

And that is when I saw him

As I pulled in outside of a 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-four hours Tulsa

Oh only one day away from your arms

He took me to the cafe

And he asked me if I would stay

I said"Okay"

Oh I was only twenty-four hours Tulsa

Oh 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 he held me tight

And then he kissed me caressed me

Told me he would die before he

Would let me out of his arms

Oh I was only twenty-four hours Tulsa

Oh only one day away from your arms

I hate to do this to you

But I've found somebody new

What can I do

And I could never never never go home again
