Tracy Chapman — Shes Got Her Ticket

[Chorus] She's got her ticket, I think she gonna use it I think she goin' to fly away No one should try and stop her, persuade her with their power She says that her mind is made —up [Chorus] She's got her ticket, I think she gonna use it I think she goin' to fly away No one should try and stop her, persuade her with their power She says that her mind is made —up [Bridge] Why not leave why not, go away Too much hatred, corruption and greed Give your life, and invariably they leave you with nothing [Verse] Young girl ain't got no chances No roots to keep her strong She's shed all pretences That someday she'll belong Some folks call her a runaway A failure in the race But she knows where her ticket takes her She will find her place in the sun [Bridge] Why not leave why not, go away Too much hatred, corruption and greed Give your life, and invariably they leave you with nothing [Chorus] She's got her ticket, I think she gonna use it I think she goin' to fly away No one should try and stop her, persuade her with their power She says that her mind is made —up [Post-Chorus] And she'll fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly Fly, fly, fly [Outro] And she gotta fly away Oh she got her ticket Oh she got her ticket No, she gonna fly away Oh, she gonna fly away Yeah, she gonna fly, fly, fly, fly, fly Oh, she gonna fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly Yeah, she gonna fly, fly, fly
