Gene Pitney Miscellaneous Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa Twenty Fours Hours From Tulsa Artist: Gene Pitney (peak Billboard position # 17 in 1963) Words by Hal David, Music by Burt Bacharach 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 a welcoming light and stopped to rest for the night And that is when I saw her as I pulled in outside of the small motel 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 caf? I asked her if she would stay, she said "OK" (instrumental strings) 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 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. Transcribed by Ronald E. Hontz ronhontz@worldnet.att.net |
