Write My Ticket Lyrics - Singles - Tift Merritt

This city must belong to someone, 

But it don't belong to me. 

From the window I got here, 

I count the traffic through my tears, 

Wanting to write me ticket, write my ticket home. 

[Chorus] 

I got to get back in the arms of the man who loves me, 

I got to get back to the people who have always been proud of me. 

Take me back, I was wrong. 

Write my ticket home. 

A place called Suzy's, I'm a waitress. 

Sue says, "Girl, you'll get used to all this." 

But there is now way she could see 

How much that cold rain gets to me, 

How much I traded for a picture in my mind 

[Chorus] 

I can hear 'em sitting 'round joking, 

"She talks so big, come back broken." 

Well, I had to try. 

I ain't so proud. 

I wish I were talking 'bout nothing with them right now. 

[Chorus]
