One Way Ticket Back Home Lyrics by Don Burnham

California Skies

2020

Give me that one way ticket, man
Back to the western country
Tell the engineer
To let the big old engine moan
I've been 'way now for too long
I know that I was wrong
That's why I'm buyin'
Just a one way ticket back home
There's a western moon will greet me soon
Where tumbleweeds are blowin'
'Neath a western sky, I'll be ridin' high
Longhorn cattle are lowin'
I'll take that ticket, man
I'm like a pigeon homing
That's why I'm buying
Just a one way ticket back home
I'll take that one way tickеt, man
I hear that train a-coming
My heart will soon be humming
For a onе way ticket back home
When I see cactus and sage blowin'
That's when I'll be knowin'
I've reached God's country
With a one way ticket back home
There's a little miss
I long to kiss
Where desert flowers are bloomin'
And I'll stake this claim
To change her name
We'll be bride and groomin'
Firemen don't spare your fuel
I've been a wandering fool
That's why I'm buyin'
Just a one way ticket back home
I'll take that ticket, man
I'm like a pigeon homing
That's why I'm buying
Just a one way ticket back home
