One Way Ticket

(album: Mama's Big Ones - 1970)

Call the village band out, bid me goodbye
Everybody stand outside and cry
Never thought so many thought me so dear
I'd be happy any place but here

One way ticket, take me anywhere
North bound, south bound, I don't even care
I know the grass is greener there

People in the city leave you alone
Every day is pretty much your own
One among the many, year after year
I'd be happy any place but here

One way ticket, take me anywhere
North bound, south bound, I don't even care
I know the grass is greener there

Look up at a passing train, and there I am
No matter where I am, I'm passing through

One way ticket, take me anywhere
North bound, south bound, I don't even care
I know the grass is greener there

One way ticket, take me anywhere
One way ticket, take me anywhere
