She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind
is made Up
She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind
is made Up
Why not leave why not go away
Too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave
you with nothing
Young girl ain't got no chances
No roots to keep her strong
She's shed all pretenses
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
<Interlude>
Why not leave why not go away
Too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave
you with nothing
She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
And she'll fly, fly, fly
<Interlude>
I think she going to fly away
I think she gonna use it
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
I think she going to fly away
And she'll fly, fly, fly
And she'll fly, fly, fly
Why not leave why not
She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind
is made Up
She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power

I think she going to fly away
And she'll fly, fly, fly
And she'll fly, fly, fly
Why not leave why not
ill get better
You'll find work
and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house
and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving
driving in your car
The speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice
wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And I got a job
that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking
late at the bar
See more of your friends than
you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you
and me would find it
I got no plans
I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car
and keep on driving
I remember we were driving
driving in your car
The speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice
wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough
so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live
and die this way
