[Chorus 1]
Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm going away
Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm going away

[Chorus 2]
Well I've been away forever
Suicide's crossing my mind
Well I'll never, never, never, never, never
Get so far behind

[Verse 1]
I said, the ways of the night are evil
Without that Lord of Day
But I'll never, never, never, never, never
Get so far away

[Chorus 1]
Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm going away

[Verse 2]
Well there's nothing I can see
That would ever make me
Want to be without her
She's good, she's good to me
Said there's no way to explain
The kind of feeling that you get out in the way
She good, she good to me[x2]
See this emptiness inside will make me scream
Make me going to know how
She's good, she's good to me
I love her

[Chorus 1]
Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm going away

[Chorus 2]
Well I've been away forever
Suicide's crossing my mind
Well I'll never, never, never, never, never
Get so far behind

[Verse 3]
Well I've been to so many places
Hiding from the wind and the rain
But you could write me a letter
For to save me from going insane

[Chorus 1]
Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm going away
Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm going away

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
