One Way Ticket Lyrics - Ronna Reeves

(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
