Phil Ochs — One Way Ticket Home

[Verse 1] I'd like a one-way ticket home, ticket home Where I can watch my television, talk on the telephone In every town I wander there's a billboard on a throne Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home [Verse 2] Does anybody know my name or recognize my face? I must have come from somewhere, but I can't recall the place They dropped me at the matinee, they left without a trace Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home [Bridge] Elvis Presley is the king, I was at his crowning My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning [Verse 3] Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane (Sha la la la la) Breaking distance in the skies while diving in champagne (Sha la la la la) I would be in exile now but everywhere's the same Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home [Bridge] Elvis Presley is the king, I was at his crowning My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning [Verse 4] Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane (Sha la la la la) Breaking distance in the skies while diving in champagne (Sha la la la la) I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home
