She's got her ticket
|
I think she gonna use it
|
I think she going to fly away
|
No one should try and stop her
|
Persuade her with their power
|
She says that her mind
|
is made Up
|
She's got her ticket
|
I think she gonna use it
|
I think she going to fly away
|
No one should try and stop her
|
Persuade her with their power
|
She says that her mind
|
is made Up
|
Why not leave why not go away
|
Too much hatred
|
Corruption and greed
|
Give your life
|
And invariably they leave
|
you with nothing
|
Young girl ain't got no chances
|
No roots to keep her strong
|
She's shed all pretenses
|
That someday she'll belong
|
Some folks call her a runaway
|
A failure in the race
|
But she knows where her
|
ticket takes her
|
She will find her place
|
in the sun
|

I think she gonna use it

I think she going to fly away

I think she going to fly away

And she'll fly, fly, fly

And she'll fly, fly, fly

And she'll fly, fly, fly
|
Why not leave why not
|
ill get better
|
You'll find work
|
and I'll get promoted
|
We'll move out of the shelter
|
Buy a big house
|
and live in the suburbs
|
I remember we were driving
|
driving in your car
|
The speed so fast
|
I felt like I was drunk
|
City lights lay out before us
|
And your arm felt nice
|
wrapped 'round my shoulder
|
And I had a feeling
|
that I belonged
|
And I had a feeling
|
I could be someone
|
be someone, be someone
|
You got a fast car
|
And I got a job
|
that pays all our bills
|
You stay out drinking
|
late at the bar
|
See more of your friends than
|
you do of your kids
|
I'd always hoped for better
|
Thought maybe together you
|
and me would find it
|
I got no plans
|
I ain't going nowhere
|
So take your fast car
|
and keep on driving
|
I remember we were driving
|
driving in your car
|
The speed so fast
|
I felt like I was drunk
|
City lights lay out before us
|
And your arm felt nice
|
wrapped 'round my shoulder
|
And I had a feeling
|
that I belonged
|
And I had a feeling
|
I could be someone
|
be someone, be someone
|
You got a fast car
|
But is it fast enough
|
so you can fly away
|
You gotta make a decision
|
You leave tonight or live
|
and die this way
|
