McQueen Street - One Way Ticket

One Way Ticket

(Derek Welsh)

Got off the bus today, not a dollar in his hand
Destination unknown
Johnny boy reads and writes, passes time tellin' lies
Says it's hard to be a man

Walk the streets a beggar man, makin' way the best he can
Another drink, another dime
Johnny boy had it made, born and raised the American way
There's never pain behind blue eyes

Take a look, what you'll see, bleedin' hearts killing me
Half the way, half the fight, don't know what he's livin' for

One way ticket to ride, one kiss goodbye
One more mountain to climb, one way ticket to ride

Stared in the eyes of a broken man
Got a run for the money with a losin' hand
Till fate came knockin' on his door
Johnny boy, though he lived and died,
He walked a million miles to learn a single line
Ain't it tough to be a man?

Take a look, what you'll see, bleedin' hearts killing me
Half the way, half the fight, don't know what he's livin' for

One way ticket to ride, one kiss goodbye
One more mountain to climb, one way ticket to ride

Johnny boy, woah yeah..

You're all alone again, you feel darkness closin' in
One way ticket to ride, one kiss goodbye

One more mountain to climb, one way ticket to ride
