i can't afford a ticket On an old dakota airplane Gotta jump a ride On a cattle trucking slowtrain Guess it doesn't matter As long as i can get my head down in the sun. I wrote a rocking song Gonna sing it at the station Finish all the words When i reach my destination Guess it doesn't matter As long as i can get my head down in the sun. Hey mama, please now don't you fret none Don't worry but please don't you forget Hey mama, please don't get upset none Gotta leave and find me something better Hey mama, things are gonna work out fine now Believe me need for you to write Hey mama, things are gonna work out fine now I've got a friend said that she'd invite me. I came here in the morning And i crept out in the middle of the night I gave nobody warning i was leaving And i felt it was right Now i'm off again And it sure is feeling alright. Got a feeling that i'm living With a ticket and i won't jump a ride It's no good you believing That my leaving was a-wrong, it was right Now i'm off again And it sure is feeling alright.
