Lyrics

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane Ain't got time to take a fast train Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home Oh, my baby just wrote me a letter I don't care how much money I gotta spend Got to get back to my baby again Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home Oh, my baby just wrote me a letter Well, she wrote me a letter Said, she couldn't live without me no more Listen mister, can't you see, I got to get back to my baby once more? Anyway, yeah Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane Ain't got time to take a fast train Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home 'Cause my baby just wrote me a letter Well, she wrote me a letter Said, she couldn't live without me no more Listen mister, can't you see, I got to get back to my baby once more? Anyway, yeah Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane Ain't got time to take a fast train Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home 'Cause my baby just wrote me a letter Oh, 'cause my baby just wrote me a letter
