She bought a one way ticket
To a faraway land
She kept it in a jewel box
On her bedside stand
She was over getting older
Friends told her “try harder, baby”
“You’ve got to play your hand”
There’s a place in the mountains
Up above the clouds
Make your papa proud
There’s a place in the valley
You’ll be dressed in white
Time to book your flight
Cause the only way is down
If you hang around
Momma’s little helper
Go to sleep and dream
Don’t you let them see you
Fraying at the seams
Cold shoulders, getting colder
Little voices, getting bolder lately
They surely can be mean
There’s a place in the mountains
Up above the clouds
Make your papa proud
There’s a place in the valley
You’ll be dressed in white
Go and book your flight
Cause the only way is down
If you hang around
One way, one way
One way to get home

v1:
She bought a one-way ticket to a faraway land
Her life in a backpack, her heart in her hand
They say time moves quickly when you're busy making plans
That's something so few understand
ch:
She prayed for the mystery to quietly take control
She counted through the seasons in song
She thought love might be the one thing to start to make her whole
Love's a good reason for everything to go wrong
v2:
Once her passion took over, she could not be stopped
She left 'em running for cover, ready or not
A list of bad habits she should probably drop
But sometimes that's all we got
ch:
She prayed for the mystery to quietly take control
She counted through the seasons in song
She thought love might be the one thing to start to make her whole
Love's a good reason for everything to go wrong
-- solo --
v3:
She never bought another ticket to the place she used to call home
She trusted in the seeds she had sown
ch:
She prayed for the mystery to quietly take control
She counted through the seasons in song
She thought love might be the one thing to start to make her whole
Love's a good reason for everything
ch:
She prayed for the mystery to quietly take control
She counted through the seasons in song
She thought love might be the one thing to start to make her whole
Love's a good reason for everything
Love's a good reason for everything to go wrong

She bought a one-way ticket to a
Faraway land and she done gone now
No one saw it coming but she
Lost the will to carry on now
Nobody gets a free ride
But she’s taken what she’s given
and she’s gone worldwide now
a one-way ticket to a
Faraway land, she’s gone
They play the smallest fiddle when you’re
Stuck up in the middle of a firestorm
They smack your skinned-up knuckles every
Time you’re trying to take it somewhere freeform
Take all those tears you cried
pour ‘em in the stream at the riverside
They play the smallest fiddle when you’re
Stuck up in the middle of a firestorm
It’s like a song got sung
In a sentimental way
A tin roof on a rainy day
You placed your bets on black
You look good in gunnysack
Tin roof on a rainy day
They sent the top-shelf hounds
They’re listening for the sounds of the stowaways
You tried to cover your tracks
With the dust and sealing wax
Send ‘em sideways
Shower your love with grace
but always tell your story
with a poker face
They sent the top-shelf hounds
They’re listening for the sounds of the stowaways
She bought a one-way ticket to a
Faraway land and she done gone now
No one saw it coming but she
Lost the will to carry on now
Nobody gets a free ride
But she’s taken what she’s given
and she’s gone worldwide now
a one-way ticket to a
Faraway land, she’s gone
It’s like a song got sung
In a sentimental way
A tin roof on a rainy day
You placed your bets on black
You look good in gunnysack
Tin roof on a rainy day

She bought a one way ticket to a faraway land
Baby said her ticket's gonna take her to the arms of a brand new man
Take her to the arms of a brand new man
She said- boy I warned you time and again
So don't you start with me
Some mess about you understanding now
Now, I'm Plenty Done
She said- he 'got a smooth move, and oh, can he dance
A bankroll in his ample britches, she's talking 'bout a man with big ol' pants
Know she loves a man with a big ol' pants
Your howling about how you'll miss my loving
You're barking up the wrong damn tree
This mean-eyed mouser I'm leaving's the only kitty you're getting from me
Now, I'm Done
She bought a one way ticket to a faraway man
Baby says I pushed her to it
I can't say that she's wrong
No
I can't say that she's wrong
