ONE WAY TICKET TO THE BLUES
(Jimmie Dallas)


Porter Wagoner - 1961
Norma Jean - 1964
Marti Brom - 2005



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

I've got a one way ticket to a world that's full of tears
All my dreams and hopes are 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

(Instrumental Break)

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
All my dreams and hopes are 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
