TICKET HOME

VERSE

ACROSS FROM THE GREYHOUND STATION A YOUNG MAN SIPPED HIS COFFEE
STARIN’ OUT THE CAFÉ WINDOW AT AN OLD MAN IN THE RAIN
TRAVELIN’ BAG BESIDE HIM RAIN POURIN’ OFF HIS HAT BRIM
THE BUSSES CAME AND WENT BUT THE OLD MAN STAYED

THE YOUNG MAN WALKED UP TO HIM SAID MISTER CAN I HELP YOU
THEN HEARD A TALE OF WOE FROM THAT OLD MAN
SAID HE LOST HIS TICKET AND WAS DOWN TO HIS LAST DOLLAR
THE YOUNG MAN SMILED AND HANDED HIM TWO TWENTIES AND A TEN

CHORUS

HERE’S YOUR TICKET HOME
PUT YOUR MIND TO REST NOW
YOU’VE GOT FRIENDS AND FAMILY WAITING AT THE END OF THE ROAD
IN GOOD TIME WE MIGHT EVEN MEET AGAIN…UNTIL THEN
HERE’S YOUR TICKET HOME

VERSE

WELL THAT YOUNG MAN LIVED A LIFETIME AND NOW IT’S COME TO HIS TIME
WONDERIN’ AS HE LAID THERE IF HE’D SEE THOSE PEARLY GATES
THEN SUDDENLY FROM NO WHERE THAT OLD MAN STOOD BESIDE HIM
RAIN POURIN’ OFF HIS HAT BRIM JUST LIKE IT DID THAT DAY

THE OLD MAN HELD A BIBLE TWO TWENTIES AND A TEN
AND A GREYHOUND TICKET BROWN AND FRAYED WITH AGE
SAID ONCE YOU HELPED A STRANGER ‘N SON IT WAS NOT FORGOTTEN
HEAVEN NEVER LETS ONE SINGLE ACT OF KINDNESS GO UNPAID

CHORUS

HERE’S YOUR TICKET HOME
PUT YOUR MIND TO REST NOW
YOU’VE GOT FRIENDS AND FAMILY WAITING AT THE END OF THE ROAD
IN GOOD TIME WE MIGHT EVEN MEET AGAIN…UNTIL THEN
HERE’S YOUR TICKET HOME

NOW ACROSS FROM THE GREYHOUND STATION ANOTHER YOUNG MAN SIPS HIS COFFEE
STARIN’ OUT THE CAFÉ WINDOW AT AN OLD MAN IN THE RAIN
