Grumpy Old Men of Ottawa - One Way Ticket

I got 13 dollars and a one way ticket to a place I've never been
Well my daddy's gone and he left me here, he is my only kin
I missed my bus by just 3 minutes so I had some time to spare
So I opened up my bible and I found some comfort there
I was glad to be out on my own, but I was scared to death inside
Then a Christian girl came up to me and as we talked I realized
To be a man out on my own, well I got to say goodbye
I knew it was time to spread my wings like an eagle in the sky
There comes a time deep inside in a young man's life
When you got to cross that line
There comes a time deep inside in a young man's life
You got to get to the other side
There comes a time deep inside in a young man's life
When you got to cross that line
There comes a time deep inside in a young man's life
You got to get to the other side
To be a man out on my own, well I got to say goodbye
I knew it was time to spread my wings like an eagle in the sky
There comes a time deep inside in a young man's life
When you got to cross that line
There comes a time deep inside in a young man's life
You got to get to the other side
I got 13 dollars and a one way ticket to a place I've never been
