Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa (Live At The BBC DUSTY 1.09.66)

Dusty Springfield
Album : The Magic of 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 from 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 from 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 from 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 from 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
