A Ticket To Somewhere
I was hangin’ round the station
without a place to go.
Waitin’ for some revelation…
Wond’ring why my life’s been so low.
Then a stranger asked a question
that hadn’t entered my mind.
Turned out to be the best one
I could find.
“Would you like a ticket to somewhere?
You with no place to go.
Freedom’s waitin’ out there…
Don’t you know?
With a ticket to somewhere
you’ve got someplace to go.
Freedom’s really a place
you can know.”
So I walked up to the window;
looked th’ guy right in th’ eye.
I said, “Give me a ticket to somewhere…
a ticket before I die.
“Just a ticket to take me
far from the trouble I’m in.
Don’t give me a ticket
back to where I’ve been.”
Yes, I want a ticket to somewhere…
I’ve had no place to go.
Freedom’s waitin’ out there…
don’t you know?
We all need a ticket to somewhere.
We all need someplace to go.
Freedom’s there for us all,
don’t you know?
