She's Got Her Ticket - Tracy Chapman

She’s got her ticket, I think she gonna use it

I think she goin' to fly away

No one should try and stop her, persuade her with their power

She says that her mind is made

—up

She’s got her ticket, I think she gonna use it

I think she goin' to fly away

No one should try and stop her, persuade her with their power

She says that her mind is made

—up

Why not leave why not

Go away

Too much hatred

Corruption and greed

Give your life

And invariably they leave you with

Nothing

Young girl ain’t got no chances

No roots to keep her strong

She’s shed all pretenses

That someday she’ll belong

Some folks call her a runaway

A failure in the race

But she knows where her ticket takes her

She will find her place in the sun

And she’ll fly, fly, fly…
