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 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-a more
Anyway, yeah!

Scritta dal musicista country Wayne Carson Thompson.
"The Letter", oltre ad un grandissimo successo commerciale ed uno dei brani più coverizzati di tutti i tempi (una per tutte, la bellissima versione di Joe Cocker), è stata una delle canzoni più amate dai soldati americani durante la guerra in Vietnam. E basta leggere il semplice testo per capirne il motivo...
