Send me a ticket for an airplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter

I don't care how much I got to spend
I gotta get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter

Well he wrote me a letter said
He couldn't live without me no more
Oh listen mister can't you see I gotta get back
To my baby once more anyway

I don't care how much I got to spend
I gotta get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter

Well he wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me no more
Oh listen mister can't you see
I gotta get back to my baby once more anyway

I don't care how much I got to spend
I gotta get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter

Send me a ticket for an airplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter
