Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone
I'm a-goin' home
My baby just a-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'm a-goin' home
My baby just a-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

On "The Letter," Alex Chilton moans like a gruff soul man, despite the fact that he was just sixteen. He credited the performance to his producer, the Memphis legend Penn. "[He] coached me pretty heavily on singing anything we ever did," Chilton said. "In a lot of cases, it sounds more like him singing than it sounds like me." Chilton later fronted Big Star but still tours with the reunited Box Tops.
