She's Got Her Ticket

She's got her ticket I think she gonna use it I think she going to fly away No one should try and stop her Persuade her with their power She says that her mind is made up Why not leave why not Go away Too much hatred Corruption and greed Give your life And invariably they leave you with Nothing Young girl ain't got no chances No roots to keep her strong She's shed all pretenses That someday she'll belong Some folks call her a runaway A failure in the race But she knows where her ticket takes her She will find her place in the sun And she'll fly, fly, fly... --- She's Got Her Ticket - Tracy Chapman
