Greg MacPherson - Buy A Ticket lyrics

Buy a ticket and get on
Sail out into the great beyond
Write me if it's any good there at all
Fly out over the sky and the ocean
Look down upon the memories
And the ghosts and try to see
Another side of your self
Save up all the money in your checks
Try and find yourself another place to live
And transportation back home when you fail
Send me a picture of you in your place
But don't worry about a smile for your face
I know the grass is greener when it rains
If you really want to be somewhere
Else I guess you gotta go
But don't pretend the people that
You meet are any better
Than the people that you know
When you go away
Look up the names of all the great
Men and if you can't find mine
Look it up again
I know it's in there under
The tried and the failed
Don't do it for me, do it for yourself
Pick up the reciever, put it to your mouth
And tell me you won't be coming
Back here for a while
