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
