Tom Paxton - When You Get Your Ticket lyrics

When you get your ticket Then I'll know you're flyin' When I say I'm happy Then you'll know I'm lyin' I'll try California You try running around It never worked before, babe And it ain't workin' now Like a railroad station That's just what I've been You rolled up beside me Now you're gone again Don't know where you're going Don't know what you'll find I don't mind your going Just can't stand staying behind I've been askin' questions You will answer none How you can love so many And I can love but one If you miss me sometime Miss your man at all Just tell the operator And I will pay the call When you get your ticket Then I'll know you're flyin' When I say I'm happy Then you'll know I'm lyin' I'll try California You try running around It never worked before, babe And it ain't workin' now
