Album: Tracy Chapman

She's Got Her Ticket

She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up

She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up

Why not leave
Why not go away
Too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave you with nothing

Young girl ain't got no chances
No roots to keep her strong
She's shed all pretenses
That someday she'll belong
Some folks call her a runaway
A failure in the race
But she knows where her ticket takes her
She will find her place in the sun

Why not leave
Why not go away
Too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave you with nothing

She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up

And she'll fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
Think she gonna fly away
No she gonna fly away
Oh, she gonna fly away
Thinks she gonna fly, fly, fly
Yeah, she gonna fly, fly, fly away
