The Letter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Give me a ticket for an airplane
Ain't got time to take no fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm going home
My baby just wrote me a letter
I don't care how much money I got to spend
Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm going home
My baby just wrote me a letter
She wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen Mister, can't you see
Got to get back to my baby once more
Anyway
