One Way Ticket To The Blues

James King · Other Songs - James King

Once I thought your love I'd win

But your old flame showed up in town again

Now I know your love I lose

I've got a one way ticket to the blues

I've got a one way ticket to the world that's full of tears

All my dreams and hopes are gone we built up through the years

Seems I can't win I always lose

I've got a one way ticket to the blues

[ fiddle - steel ]

I've tried to find somebody new

But in my heart there's only room for you

You gave me something I can't lose

I've got a one way ticket to the blues

I've got a one way ticket...
