Ain't got time to take a fast train.
                    
Lonely days are gone, I'm goin' home,
                        
My Baby, she wrote me a letter.

Got to get back to my baby once again.
                   
Lonely days are gone, I'm goin' home,
                       
My Baby, she wrote me a letter.

Well, she wrote me a letter, 
                                                 
Said she couldn't live without me no more...   C! D! (single strum each)
