Lyrics Ticket Out of Kansas - Regina Regina

Ticket Out of Kansas

I got my brother Frank’s suitcase
He used it once to join the army
But they found out he had flat feet
And stayed gone barely two weeks
I got my sister Pearl’s best dress
She used to wear it dancin`
But now she’s married to a preacher
And they don’t allow that kind of thing
And I’m standing by this Greyhound
I’m so scared that I can’t stand it
All dressed up in their hand me downs
with this ticket out of Kansas
Oh my ticket out of Kansas
Now Aunt Louise thinks I can sing
She thinks I’ve got a shot
She gave me her first wedding ring
She let me put in hock
Momma swears that I’m a treasure
That I’ve got diamonds in my soul
Waiting to be discovered
Waiting for the world to know
And I’m climbing aboard this Greyhound
I’m so scared that I can’t stand it
All packed up with all their hand me downs
And this ticket out of Kansas
Oh my ticket out of Kansas
Daddy hands me his bible
Its marked the Book Of Jobe
He says girl you’re gonna need it
Girl you better go
And I’m waiting from this Greyhound
I’m so scared that I can’t stand it
All packed up with their hand me downs
