Give me a ticket for an airplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
The lonely days are gone
I am going home
My baby done wrote me a letter

I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to my baby one more again
The lonely days are gone
I am going home
My baby wrote me something on a piece of paper

Wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen, mister, can't you see I gotta get back to
My baby once more

Gotta have a ticket for an airplane
Gotta get back to my baby again
The lonely days are gone
I am going home
My baby done wrote me a letter

When she wrote me a letter
Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen, mister, listen, mister I gotta get back to
My baby once more

Gotta have a ticket to an airplane
I gotta get back to my baby, baby
The lonely days are gone
I am going home
My baby done wrote me a letter

The lonely days are gone
