Lyrics
This Ticket
by Mike Green, October 2020
It’s not the end of the line, this train will keep on going
We’re not out of luck or out of time
We’ll lay down more track, stoke the fire and keep on riding
This ticket says I’m yours and you are mine
This ticket says I’m yours and you are mine
Together and alone, we’re stranded here at home
Going back and forth ‘tween get along and argue
Jettison that cargo, let’s walk out into tomorrow
Rather be a windshield than a rear-view
Some days we cannot see the mountains or the sea
But just these walls that we’ve built up around us
We feel them closing in like sunburn on our skin
And long to get outside into the boundless
It’s not the end of the line, this train will keep on going
We’re not out of luck or out of time
We’ll lay down more track, stoke the fire and keep on riding
This ticket says I’m yours and you are mine
This ticket says I’m yours and you are mine
Just like the river bends and seems to have no end
We flow over bumps and rocks and trouble
You don’t have to wonder, I’ll pull you up if you go under
I meant it then, and now I mean it double
It’s not the end of the line, this train will keep on going
We’re not out of luck or out of time
We’ll lay down more track, stoke the fire and keep on riding
This ticket says I’m yours and you are mine
This ticket says I’m yours and you are mine
I love to hear you laugh as you get out of the bath
Remembering that joke that someone told you
I’m squeaky clean, you said, then you climbed into the bed
And slide across where my arms can enfold you
It’s not the end of the line, this train just keeps rolling
Never out of luck or out of time
We’ll lay down more track, stoke the fire and keep on riding
This ticket says I’m yours and you are mine
This ticket says I’m yours. this ticket says I’m yours
This ticket says I’m yours and you are mine
