I got a letter the other day

It really blew my mind

Opened a drawer of memories

Took me to another time



I sat on top of a volcano

Looking out at the sea

Nothing around for miles and miles

A lonely glacier and me



One more ticket

I'd shake it loose

One more ticket

I'd get rid of this noose

One more ticket

I'd be in the sky

But only one more ticket

Won't satisfy



Sat on the edge of a grand canyon

With a woman I hardly knew

She said "my name is Star baby"

"What do you want to do?"



Lost weekend in New Orleans

Barely made it back to Buffalo

The Quarter thundered and the band was on fire

What it meant I still don't know



One more ticket

I'd shake it loose

One more ticket

I'd get rid of this noose

One more ticket

I'd be in the sky

But only one more ticket

Won't satisfy



Hung with friends in Hollywood

Topless red shark idled just outside

For the obligatory trek to Vegas

Where we took the bubble room in stride



Tumble weeds flew out of my way

Sunburn round my dried up eyes

Racing the August sun back to the coast

How I wished I could fly



One more ticket

I'd be on the road

One more ticket

I'd lighten my load

One more ticket

New adventures to find

One more ticket

I'd lose my mind



One more ticket

I'd shake it loose

One more ticket

I'd get rid of this noose

One more ticket

I'd be in the sky

But only one more ticket

won't satisfy
