Once I thought your love I'd win
But your old flame showed up in town again
Now I know your love I'd lose
I've got a one way ticket to the blues

I've got a one way ticket to the world that's full of tears
All my dreams and hopes they're gone we built up through the years
Seems I can't win I always lose
I've got a one way ticket to the blues

[ fiddle - steel ]
I've tried to find somebody new
But in my heart there's only room for you
You gave me something I can't lose
I've got a one way ticket to the blues

I've got a one way ticket to the world that's full of tears...
