The song is about a man who receives a letter from his baby telling him she can't live without him anymore and asking him to return home. The letter prompts the man to purchase an airplane ticket instead of taking the slower train so he can get back to his baby as soon as possible. Over multiple verses and choruses, he expresses his desire to return home now that the lonely days are over thanks to the letter from his love.
