The Letter
by Wayne Carson; changes by Debra Milligan
Give me a ticket for an airplane
I don’t have time to take a fast train
My lonely days are gone
I’m going home
My baby just wrote me
a letter.
I don’t care how much money
I gotta spend
I’ve got to get back to my baby,
again
My lonely days are gone
I’m going home
My baby just wrote me
a letter
He wrote me a letter
said he couldn’t live
without me
anymore
Listen, mister,
Can’t you see
I got to get back
to my baby
because
I don’t have time
to Amtrak it
and I ain’t gonna
backpack it
My lonely days are gone
He’s calling me home
with his love letter.
Give me a ticket for an
airplane
I don’t have time for any
fast train.
My lonely days are gone
He calls me home
to his arms
My baby
just told me
I’m his only one
when he wrote me,
My baby just wrote me,
He wrote me
The Letter.
