ONE WAY TICKET HOME LYRICS - PHIL OCHS



ONE WAY TICKET HOME LYRICS - PHIL OCHS


I'd like a one-way ticket home, ticket home
Where I can watch television, talk on the telephone
But every town I wander there's a billboard on a throne
Ticket home
I want a ticket home

Does anybody know my name, or recognize my face
I must have come from somewhere, but I can't recall the place
they dropped me at the matinee, they left without a trace

Ticket home
I want a ticket home
Elvis Presley is the king, I was at his crowning
My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning

Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane
Raping distance in the skies, while diving in champagne
I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same

Ticket home
I want a ticket home

Elvis Presley is the king, I was at his crowning
My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning
Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane
Raping distance in the sky, while diving in champagne
I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same
Ticket home

I want a ticket home

  1. The way Phil sang it in Chicago at the Quiet Knight was not about Elvis, he sang a special version for me. "The golden idol is the king and I was at his crowning" This was what he sang on a tape I got of that 2nd show after I asked him to say something about his trip to Dallas.
