Buy a Ticket Songtext
von Greg MacPherson

Buy a ticket and get on and
Sail out into the great beyond and
Write me if it′s any good there at all

Fly out over the sky and the ocean
Look down upon the memories and the ghosts and
Try and see another side of yourself

Save up all the money in your checks
Try and find yourself another place to live
And transportation back home when you fail

Send me a picture of you in your place
Don't worry about a smile for your face
I know the grass is greener when it rains

And if you really want to be someplace else
I guess you gotta go

And don′t pretend the people that you meet
Are any better than the people that you know


When you go away
Away
Away

Look up the names of all the great men
And if you can't find mine, well, look it up again
I know it's in there under the tried and the failed
Don′t do it for me, do it for yourself
Pick up the receiver and put it to your mouth
And tell me you won′t be coming back here for awhile

'Cause if you really want to be someplace else
I guess you gotta go

And don′t pretend the people that you meet
Are any better than the people that you know

When you go away
Away

You go away
Away
