Artist/Band: Dusty Springfield
Lyrics for Song: Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa
Lyrics for Album: Dusty Springfield Story [2006]



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

'cause something happened to me while I was drivin' 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 the welcoming light and stopped to rest for the night



And that is when I saw him as I pulled in outside of the small motel 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 from Tulsa

Ah, only one day away from your arms

He took me to the cafĂŠ, and he asked if I would stay, I 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 dancin'

Closely, all of a sudden I lost control as he held me tight

And he kissed me, carressed me, told me he die

Before he would let me out of his arms 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.
