The Cactus Cuties feat. Blaire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't got time to take no fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm-a comin' home
My baby, he wrote me a letter
Don't care how much I gotta spend
Gotta get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm-a comin' home
Well, he wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me no more
Mister, can't you see
I gotta get back to my baby once more
Anyway
Send me a ticket for an airplane
Ain't got time to take no fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm-a comin' home
My baby, he wrote me a letter
Send me a ticket for an airplane
Ain't got time to take no fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm-a comin' home
My baby, he wrote me a letter
Well, he wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me no more
Mister, can't you see
I gotta get back to my baby once more
Anyway
Send me a ticket for an airplane
Ain't got time to take no fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm-a comin' home
My baby, he wrote me a letter
Lonely days are gone, I'm-a comin' home
My baby, he wrote me a letter
