Lyrics

My Ticket Home

the band they played
said goodbye
left the stage
now this night

is just a memory

I sang along
while they performed
and for a while
I was free

but as the crowd began to shuffle out
I cried out for one more song
something soft and slow

a familiar melody for everyone to sing along
before they board the bus and go
to the end of the road

she sits alone
at the end
of the bar
and hides herself

in her own tears

I approach
take a guess
a broken heart
she nods yes...

how did you know?

she says Here's a dollar, play me one more song...
so that I can sing along
make it something soft and slow

a familiar melody to take me someplace I belong
before I found myself here
at the end of the road

life is full of mystery and desire
but you learn along the way
to take what you can get and hold on tight
and hope you find your way
before it's too late

I had a dream
long ago
I believed
I'd see the world

on words and melody

I let it go
I told myself
that I was so naive

what was I thinking

but every time I turn to walk away
I think maybe one more song
maybe something soft and slow

a familiar melody for everyone to sing along
maybe that's my ticket home
to the end of the road

maybe that's my ticket home
to the end
of the road...
