lyrics

Ticket on a Plane
Rick and Hart Parnell

Verses:
I would be there
If I could be here
but I am nowhere
to be found

I would hold you
If I could find you
And I would never
hold you down

There are places
I've never been to
Where even when it rains
The weather's fine

When I find you
I know I'll be there
Where the water
tastes like wine

Chorus:
Gonna stop taking poison for the pain
Wash my troubles down the drain
Buy a ticket on a plane
Fly somewhere to be myself again

Verses 2:
I'd like to be near
Another hemisphere
A warmer breeze
pushing my back

If I knew you
I'd hold on to you
Sip cool drinks
and share a laugh

There are places
That I could show you
Where people smile
Though times are bad

With you with me
I know I will be
Happy with every
thing I have

Chorus:
Gonna stop taking poison for the pain
Wash my troubles down the drain
Buy a ticket on a plane
Fly somewhere to be myself again

Verses 3:
Living will be easy
When you are with me
The world looks better
When we share

All those places
We've never been to
Will be right here
And we'll be there

Final Chorus:
Gonna stop taking poison for the pain
Wash my troubles down the drain
Buy a ticket on a plane
Fly somewhere to be myself
Fly somewhere to be myself
Fly somewhere to be myself again

Inspired by these musical heroes, Rick’s own music is textured and nuanced, blending a mid-lifetime’s experience with a youthful, poetic soul. ... more
