Band of Blacky Ranchette

ONE WAY TICKET

Went to the city
With my big guitar (the red one)
Loaded up and left my job
At the hometown bar
Can't even put food
On the table

Been hit and run
At a 4-way stop
Chased down the freeway
By a hi-way cop
But I found lost love
Down a 2-way street
Now I got a one way ticket
And a train to meet
Get me out of hell
And back home to heaven

This morning. . .got me
A one way ticket down in my mail
I got a reason to live
And a ticket to sail
Back to the arms of a lady I love
And land I care for

I collapse down on my knees
And thank the stars above
I got me a letter and a ticket
From the one I love
Get me out of hell
And way back home to heaven
(But I'll be back. . .heh heh)
(I could really go for some Daniel Johnson)
