Artist/Band: Tracy Chapman
Lyrics for Song: She's Got Her Ticket
Lyrics for Album: Collection [2001]



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's 'She's Got Her Ticket' stands as a poignant song in her extensive discography, showcasing the introspective songwriting that defined her early career. Released on the 2001 compilation Collection, the track reflects Chapman's signature blend of folk and soul, characterized by her distinctive acoustic guitar work and emotive vocal delivery. While often overshadowed by her debut era hits, this recording captures the artist's enduring ability to craft narratives about resilience and personal journey. Chapman's body of work consistently explores themes of social consciousness and intimate reflection, and this song remains a testament to her lyrical depth. It serves as a reminder of her significant contribution to contemporary folk music, offering listeners a moment of quiet contemplation within a broader catalogue of influential recordings.
