[Intro]
All aboard, out of state train number 545
Will outbounding at 64, goin' California and full
(One way ticket)
Aboard

[Verse 1]
It took a one way ticket to nowhere
To make me know that I still care
Those lonely nights without you in sight
Were too much for me to bare
But oh, I left my pride
Cast your love aside

[Hook]
It took a one way ticket to nowhere
To make me know I love you, baby I love you
(It took a one way ticket)

[Verse 2]
I tried to get you off of my mind
By wasting some other girl's time
Didn't have no conversation, didn't know my destination
I just laughed to keep on time
A smile was out of placе, it showed all over my face
[Hook]
It took a onе way ticket to nowhere
To make me know I love you, oh baby
(It took a one way ticket)

[Verse 3]
Oh, forgive me, girl
For I know that it won't be long
But all you got to do is keep a light burnin' in the window
To TV come marchin' home, 'cause I'll be there, baby
'Cause I love you, mmm

[Bridge]
(One way ticket) That's why I'm comin' back home to you
'Cause I love you (It took a one way ticket to nowhere)
Oh baby, so glad the pain (One way ticket)
Turn around, I got to see my baby right now, baby
(It took a one way ticket to nowhere)

[Outro]
I'm comin' on home to you, mmm (One way ticket)
Mama, mama, mama, mama
(It took a one way ticket to nowhere)
I got to have you, I love you (One way ticket)
Oh baby, real sorry comin' home
(It took a one way ticket to nowhere)
