Give me a ticket for a airplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm going home
My baby wrote me a letter
I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Gotta get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone I'm going home
My baby wrote me a letter
He wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister
Can't you see I've got to get back got to get back
To my baby, don't you know...don't you know
Give me a ticket for a airplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm going home
My baby wrote me a letter
He wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me no more
Couldn't live without me no more, oh God
Listen mister
Can't you see I gotta to get back gotta to get back
To my baby don't you know...don't you know
Lonely days are gone I'm going home
My baby wrote me a letter
I'm going home my baby wrote me a letter
Lonely days are gone and I'm going home
Lonely days are gone and I'm going home
