One Way Ticket Home - Phil Ochs

pre>em a d g

I’d like a one-way ticket home, ticket home

Em a d d Where i can watch television, talk on the telephone

Em a d But every town i wander there’s a billboard on a throne

Ticket home

I want a ticket home

Em a d g Does anybody know my name, or recognize my face

Em a d g I must have come from somewhere, but i can’t recall the place

Em a d g They dropped me at the matinee, they left without a trace

Ticket home

I want a ticket home

G d Elvis presley is the king, i was at his crowning

E g a My life just flashed before my eyes, i must be drowning

Seems like only yesterday i climbed aboard the plane

Raping distance in the skies, while diving in champagne

I would be in exile now, but everywhere’s the same
