Ronna Reeves - One Way Ticket lyrics

(Ronna Reeves/Jimmy Grubbs)

She wakes up every morning

And drags a brush through her hair

Has a strong cup of coffee

She ain't got much to wear

She punches in at 7 a.m.

And works a 10 hour shift

She's livin' a hard life

She's still got a lot to give

She ain't got a whole lot of money

That ain't stopped her yet

This girls got hopes and dreams

She's not through livin' yet

She's gonna go far and she's not in a hurry

She's workin' on a one way ticket

To anywhere

Everybody's so settled down

Just live day to day

Well Billy wants to marry her

She don't know what to say

There's nothing wrong with a small town

Some folks never leave

But this girls got a wild heart

Tryin' to get free

She ain't got a whole lot of money

That ain't stopped her yet

This girls got hopes and dreams

She's not through livin' yet

She's gonna go far and she's not in a hurry

She's workin' on a one way ticket

To anywhere

She could take Billy's offer

And have a couple of kids

She could stay at the factory

Yeah... just like her momma did

But this girl's different

She's gotta go her own way

She might be a little foolish

She's goin' for it anyway

She ain't got a whole lot of money

That ain't stopped her yet

This girls got hopes and dreams

She's not through livin' yet

She's gonna go far and she's not in a hurry

She's workin' on a one way ticket

To anywhere

She's gotta go her own way

This girl's different
