Ticket Out Of Here
Escaping the Past: Eddy Smith & The 507's Journey
Lyrics
It's been a long time coming, heading for the door
Expressing a long-awaited departure, leaving for good.
There ain't nothing for me here no more
Conveying a lack of opportunities or reasons to stay.
I'm leaving I'm leaving
Reiterating the intention to leave.
And I've been dreaming for oh so long
Having aspirations and anticipation for a better future.
This day would come and I'll be gone
Envisioning the day of departure with a sense of relief.
No grieving, no grieving
Emphasizing a lack of sadness or mourning in leaving.
Once I'm on the road
Anticipating a journey and a fresh start.
It's gonna be out with the old
Declaring a willingness to part with the past.
Old
Repeating the idea of leaving the old behind.
I'll be gone in the morning
Stating the departure will happen in the morning.
I'll be gone my dear
Acknowledging the impending separation.
Oh so long I'll be leaving
Emphasizing the prolonged nature of the departure.
Now I got my ticket out of here, here, here
Revealing the possession of a ticket to leave.
It weren't always bad don't get me wrong
Recognizing that not all times were bad in the current situation.
This was my home for oh so long
Reflecting on the place as a longtime home.
Remember, remember
Nostalgically recalling memories.
But I done my time where the rich man preys
Describing a period of enduring hardship.
And I'm moving on to brighter days
Expressing hope for a better future.
Forever, forever
Emphasizing a commitment to moving forward.
Once I'm on that bus
Highlighting the decisiveness of the departure.
You know you won't see me for dust
Assuring a quick and decisive exit.
Dust
Reiterating the speed of departure.
I'll be gone in the morning
Confirming the morning departure.
I'll be gone my dear
Acknowledging the imminent separation.
Oh so long I'll be leaving
Repeating the prolonged nature of the departure.
Now I got my ticket out of here, here, here
Reaffirming the possession of a departure ticket.
Tomorrow I'll be waiting on the one way train
Anticipating waiting for a train to a new destination.
To take me away from the pouring rain
Desiring to escape unfavorable circumstances symbolized by rain.
Forever, forever
Reiterating a commitment to moving forward.
Just one last thing before I leave
Promising one last revelation or surprise before leaving.
I got a little biddy trick sitting up my sleeve,
Teasing the existence of a trick or plan.
I'll show you, I'll show you
Expressing confidence in revealing the trick.
I got a ticket going free
Offering a free ticket to accompany the singer.
Won't you come along with me?
Inviting someone to join in the journey.
With me
Repeating the invitation to join the departure.
I'll be gone in the morning
Confirming the morning departure.
I'll be gone my dear
Acknowledging the imminent separation.
Oh so long I'll be leaving
Repeating the prolonged nature of the departure.
Now I got my ticket out of here, here, here
Reaffirming the possession of a departure ticket.
