I'd like a one-way ticket home, ticket home Where I can watch television, talk on the telephone But every town I wander there's a billboard on a throne Ticket home I want a ticket home Does anybody know my name, or recognize my face I must have come from somewhere, but I can't recall the place they dropped me at the matinee, they left without a trace Ticket home I want a ticket home Elvis Presley is the king, I was at his crowning My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane Raping distance in the skies, while diving in champagne I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same Ticket home I want a ticket home Elvis Presley is the king, I was at his crowning My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane Raping distance in the sky, while diving in champagne I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same Ticket home I want a ticket home
