Burt Bacharach - Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa - Текст песни

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 light
	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
