Ticket Out Of Kansas Lyrics

Ticket Out Of Kansas lyrics

(Tia Sillers)

I got my brother Frank's suitcase
He used it once to
join the army
But they found out he had flat feet
And stayed gone barely
two weeks
I got my sister Pearl's best dress
She used to wear it
dancin`
But now she's married to a preacher
And they don't allow that
kind of thing

And I'm standing by this Greyhound
I'm so scared that I
can't stand it
All dressed up in their hand me downs
with this ticket out
of Kansas
Oh my ticket out of Kansas

Now Aunt Louise thinks I can
sing
She thinks I've got a shot
She gave me her first wedding ring
She
let me put in hock
Momma swears that I'm a treasure
That I've got diamonds
in my soul
Waiting to be discovered
Waiting for the world to
know

And I'm climbing aboard this Greyhound
I'm so scared that I
can't stand it
All packed up with all their hand me downs
And this ticket
out of Kansas
Oh my ticket out of Kansas

Daddy hands me his
bible
Its marked the Book Of Jobe
He says girl you're gonna need
it
Girl you better go

And I'm waiting from this Greyhound
I'm so
scared that I can't stand it
All packed up with their hand me downs
And
this ticket out of Kansas
They are all waitin` at my Greyhound
I'm so
scared that I can't stand
Cuz I know so many dreams are bound
With this
ticket out of Kansas

Oh my ticket out of Kansas
Ticket out of
Kansas
Oh my ticket out of Kansas
Oh my ticket
