VERSE I This city must belong to someone, but it don't belong to me From the window I got here, I count the traffic through my tears Wanting to write my ticket, write my ticket home I got to get back in the arms of a man who loves me I got to get back to the people who have always been proud of me Take me back, I was wrong Write my ticket home VERSE II A place called Susie's I'm a waitress, Sue says, "Girl you'll get used to all this" There is no way she could see how much this cold rain gets to me How much I've traded for a picture in my mind CHORUS BRIDGE I can hear 'em sittin' 'round jokin' "She talks so big, though she come back broken" Oh, I had to try, I ain't so proud I wish I was talkin' 'bout nothin' with'em right now CHORUS I got to get back in the arms of a man who loves me I got to get back to the people who have always been proud of me Take me back, I was wrong Write my ticket, write my ticket, write my ticket home
