One Way Ticket Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you're tired of your life and the way that you feel
Like a fish on a hook, like a bug on a dirty windshield, it's ok
It's time to take your chips and cash 'em all in
'Cause it matters where you're going
Not where you been, say hey
Goodbye yesterday

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, if life don't go your way
Maybe it's time to take a break
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Raise your hands in the air tonight
Put a little love back in your life
Get your feet up, uh, and just kick it (Hey)
We got a one way ticket
Sun's shining bright and it's meant for us
Life is like a ride on a party bus
Turn the radio up and sing along with it (Hey)
We got a one way ticket

[Verse 2]
So pack up your smile and your new flip flops
We're headed to a heaven where the beat don't stop
We'll dance the day and the night away
Grab yourself a gal, grab yourself a fella
Grab yourself a drink with a pink umbrella
Goodbye yesterday
[Pre-Chorus]
Whenever life don't go your way
Well, maybe it's time to take a nice long break

[Chorus]
Raise your hands in the air tonight
Put a little love back in your life
Get your feet up, woo, and just kick it (Hey)
We got a one way ticket
Sun's shining bright and it's meant for us
Life is like a ride on a party bus
Turn the radio up and sing along with it, hey
We got a one way ticket
Ooh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

[Verse 3]
So raise your hands in the air tonight
Raise your hands in the air tonight, whoa
Punch that clock and call it a day
Say adios to the minimum wage
Tell your boss man where he can stick it (Hey)
We got a one way ticket
Life is so good, it's sticky sweet
It’s a carnival cotton candy treat
Unwrap it like a lollipop, lick it (Hey)
We got a one way ticket
[Outro]
Ooh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Whoa-oh-oh
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
