When You Get Your Ticket

When you get your ticket

Then I’ll know you’re flyin'

When I say I’m happy

Then you’ll know I’m lyin'

I’ll try California

You try running around

It never worked before, babe

And it ain’t workin’ now

Like a railroad station

That’s just what I’ve been

You rolled up beside me

Now you’re gone again

Don’t know where you’re going

Don’t know what you’ll find

I don’t mind your going

Just can’t stand staying behind

I’ve been askin’ questions

You will answer none

How you can love so many

And I can love but one

If you miss me sometime

Miss your man at all

Just tell the operator

And I will pay the call

When you get your ticket

Then I’ll know you’re flyin'

When I say I’m happy

Then you’ll know I’m lyin'

I’ll try California

You try running around

It never worked before, babe

And it ain’t workin’ now
