Lyrics One Way Ticket Home - Phil Ochs

One Way Ticket Home

pre>em a d g
I’d like a one-way ticket home, ticket home
Em a d d Where i can watch television, talk on the telephone
Em a d But every town i wander there’s a billboard on a throne
Ticket home
I want a ticket home
Em a d g Does anybody know my name, or recognize my face
Em a d g I must have come from somewhere, but i can’t recall the place
Em a d g They dropped me at the matinee, they left without a trace
Ticket home
I want a ticket home
G d Elvis presley is the king, i was at his crowning
E g a My life just flashed before my eyes, i must be drowning
Seems like only yesterday i climbed aboard the plane
Raping distance in the skies, while diving in champagne
I would be in exile now, but everywhere’s the same
Ticket home
I want a ticket home
Elvis presley is the king, i was at his crowning
My life just flashed before my eyes, i must be drowning
Seems like only yesterday i climbed aboard the plane
Raping distance in the sky, while diving in champagne
I would be in exile now, but everywhere’s the same
Ticket home
I want a ticket home
