Story Behind The Song

She called me on the phone today To say she was on her way Give it a try this time My feelings from before say she's offering more Than I ever thought she could

Song Description

But sir, your ticket's no good No one shall board this train that is leaving It's here in the fine print that you missed

Lyrics

She called me on the phone today
To say she was on her way
Give it a try this time
My feelings from before say she's offering more
Than I ever thought she could

But sir, your ticket's no good
No one shall board this train that is leaving
It's here in the fine print that you missed

Are my eyes blind or is this woman of mine
About to bring me down again this time
If she gives it I'll take it
But if not I gotta close my eyes
And let her roll on by

But sir, your ticket's no good
No one shall board this train that is leaving
No one shall board
That is leaving without permission
From our sober catechism
Should I believe that in just a few years
You would change right in front of me

(No lyric 1st part of bridge) It's off

And it's off - Over and done
If I can't get her back, I'll be out on the tracks
With a last class ticket for one
Tickets Please

Now I'm the pilot on the train they wouldn't let me board
Well so what if I'm wasted and my ticket's no good
(your ticket's no good)

But sir, your ticket's no good
No one shall board this train that is leaving
It's here in the fine print that you missed

Now I'm on my own
I won't spend my life another drone
Mama stands in muddy water
I could wait for the train
Without a destination
And a place to set my bag

But sir, your ticket's no good
No one shall board this train that is
Leaving
No one shall board

And we're off!
