One Way Ticket

Police man said, "Hands on your head, son
Legs spread far apart"
Handcuffs slapped tight around my wrist
She said, "You and Jack hit it just a little too hard"

My friend Jack always gets me in trouble
People say we're two of a kind
'Cause first there was the women they drove me to the bottle
And you know how a woman can screw a man's mind, yeah

Over the edge
Where only the ageless fly, yeah, yeah, yeah
Face to face
It's just the makеr, and I
I gotta justify a

One-way ticket, got a one-way tickеt
I got a one-way ticket, stay awake all night
Don't wanna miss that train
I gotta catch that flight, yeah

Walked out of jail, 5 or 6 a.m
Whiskey coming out my pores
Jumped on the back of an old street car
Said, "Mister, drop me off at the nearest bar"

There was wine, there was women
There was Jack in the corner
Looking tough and hard to beat
I said, "I got the money, you got what I need"
With a dog-like smile, my motor starts to bleed, yeah

I'm over the edge
Where only the ageless fly, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm wasting away
I got a devil for a friend
And I'm depending on a

One-way ticket, I got a one-way ticket
I got a one-way ticket, stay awake all night
Don't wanna miss that train
I gotta catch that flight

I got a one-way ticket, I got a one-way ticket
I got a one-way ticket
God knows I'll be taking my time, yeah

Scheming on their minds, lines on their face
People getting caught up in the rat race
They say, "Do unto others with evil in their eyes"
Now tell me, who's been living a lie?

Over the edge, ageless fly
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta justify a

One-way ticket, I got a one-way ticket
I got a one-way ticket, stay awake all night
Don't wanna miss that train
I gotta catch that flight

I got a one-way ticket, I got a one-way ticket
I got a one-way ticket, stay awake all night
Don't wanna miss that train
I gotta catch that flight

I got a one-way ticket, yeah
One-way ticket, yeah
I got a one-way ticket
Up all night
Up all night
