Lyrics When You Get Your Ticket - Tom Paxton

When You Get Your Ticket

When you get your ticket
Then I’ll know you’re flyin'
When I say I’m happy
Then you’ll know I’m lyin'
I’ll try California
You try running around
It never worked before, babe
And it ain’t workin' now
Like a railroad station
That’s just what I’ve been
You rolled up beside me
Now you’re gone again
Don’t know where you’re going
Don’t know what you’ll find
I don’t mind your going
Just can’t stand staying behind
I’ve been askin' questions
You will answer none
How you can love so many
And I can love but one
If you miss me sometime
Miss your man at all
Just tell the operator
And I will pay the call
When you get your ticket
Then I’ll know you’re flyin'
When I say I’m happy
Then you’ll know I’m lyin'
I’ll try California
You try running around
It never worked before, babe
And it ain’t workin' now
