This song could be seen as a sequel/response to “The Letter” by the Box Tops (a band led by Alex Chilton, who played in Guitar in this track and was also the topic of a song in this record). In “The Letter,” Chilton sings:

[Verse 1]
I'll write you a letter tomorrow
Tonight, I can't hold a pen
Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow
I promise not to blow the address again
[Chorus]
Lights that flash in the evening
Through a crack in the drapes
[Verse 2]
Jesus rides beside me
He never buys any smokes
Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff?
Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes
See you're high and lonesome
Try, try and try
[Chorus]
Lights that flash in the evening
Through a hole in the drapes
I'll be home when I'm sleeping
I can't hardly wait
[Outro]
I can't wait, hardly wait
I can't wait, hardly wait
I can't wait, hardly wait
I can't wait, hardly wait
I can't wait, hardly wait
