One Way Ticket

Story Behind The Song

This song made the charts more than likely because it was only 1:57 where commercial radio could get more advertisers broadcasting to pay everyone as commercial radio is for profit. This was another way Nikki used her research & knowledge for returning her private business investors belief in her music requiring the merit of her originals recognized worldwide. She also charted it on small 50k stations like WBYO in the USA but didn't make the #1 position but in top 5 at that time. This number one song by Nikki is still recognized in Europe as Nikki herself discovered in 2004-2007. People on the street sang the song back to her when they learned it was hers. It is a proud accomplishment to have a song on commercial radio outside the USA in that general public position. The next recording she made "Shoestring" was played on commercial radio stations throughout the USA which was by her new investors request to prove merit in her own country. The fact is Nikki Hornsby works well for others who believe in her in business & in her gifts in order for her to succeed. Written by CJPStaff

{INTRO:LEAD GUITAR}

IT'S A ONE WAY TICKET TO A HEATBREAK

LOVIN THE WAY YOU DO
IT'S A ONE WAY TICKET TO A HEARTBREAK

CAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE LOVE'S NOT TRUE

YOU WANT ME WAITIN IN THE SHADOWS UNTIL YOU FIND THE TIME

YOU TELL ME WE MAY BE TOGETHER SOMEWHERE'D DOWN THE LINE

{CHORUS}

IT'S COLD OUTSIDE THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART THAT'S NOT WHERE I WANNA BE

WAITIN FOR YOUR LOVIN MOMENTS WHEN YOU'D FIND TIME FOR ME

{CHORUS}

SO WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN AND YOU DECIDE WHICH ROAD YOU'RE GUNNA TAKE

YOU MAY RIDE ALL OVER TOWN AND I HOPE IT'S NOT TOO LATE

{CHORUS}

{TAG} I KNOW YOUR LOVE'S NOT TRUE.
