I got a letter the other day
It really blew my mind
Opened a drawer of memories
Took me to another time

I sat on top of a volcano
Looking out at the sea
Nothing around for miles and miles
A lonely glacier and me

One more ticket
I'd shake it loose
One more ticket
I'd get rid of this noose
One more ticket
I'd be in the sky
But only one more ticket
Won't satisfy

Sat on the edge of a grand canyon
With a woman I hardly knew
She said "my name is Star baby"
"What do you want to do?"

Lost weekend in New Orleans
Barely made it back to Buffalo
The Quarter thundered and the band was on fire
What it meant I still don't know

One more ticket
I'd shake it loose
One more ticket
I'd get rid of this noose
One more ticket
I'd be in the sky
But only one more ticket
Won't satisfy

Hung with friends in Hollywood
Topless red shark idled just outside
For the obligatory trek to Vegas
Where we took the bubble room in stride

Tumble weeds flew out of my way
Sunburn round my dried up eyes
Racing the August sun back to the coast
How I wished I could fly

One more ticket
I'd be on the road
One more ticket
I'd lighten my load
One more ticket
New adventures to find
One more ticket
I'd lose my mind

One more ticket
I'd shake it loose
One more ticket
I'd get rid of this noose
One more ticket
I'd be in the sky
But only one more ticket
won't satisfy
