Guy Clark - One Way Ticket Down Lyrics

Guy Clark Lyrics

"One Way Ticket Down"

I been ridin' high so long
I can't see the ground
Got no friend that I can call
To talk me back down

Train pulled out yesterday
In the afternoon
I never got a chance to say
Goodbye to the moon

One way, one way ticket down
One way, one way ticket down

I haven't been down in so long
I bet it's all bad news
Has anybody seen my parachute?
Flyin' too close to the sun
Will burn your wings away
If you're gonna get that high
There's always hell to pay

One way, one way ticket down
One way, one way ticket down
One way, one way ticket down
One way, one way ticket down
