Ticket Out Of Kansas Lyrics

I got my brother Frank's suitcase He used it once to join the army But they found out he had flat feet And stayed gone barely two weeks I got my sister Pearl's best dress She used to wear it dancin` But now she's married to a preacher And they don't allow that kind of thing And I'm standing by this Greyhound I'm so scared that I can't stand it All dressed up in their hand me downs with this ticket out of Kansas Oh my ticket out of Kansas Now Aunt Louise thinks I can sing She thinks I've got a shot She gave me her first wedding ring She let me put in hock Momma swears that I'm a treasure That I've got diamonds in my soul Waiting to be discovered Waiting for the world to know And I'm climbing aboard this Greyhound I'm so scared that I can't stand it All packed up with all their hand me downs And this ticket out of Kansas Oh my ticket out of Kansas Daddy hands me his bible Its marked the Book Of Jobe He says girl you're gonna need it Girl you better go And I'm waiting from this Greyhound I'm so scared that I can't stand it All packed up with their hand me downs And this ticket out of Kansas They are all waitin` at my Greyhound I'm so scared that I can't stand Cuz I know so many dreams are bound With this ticket out of Kansas Oh my ticket out of Kansas Ticket out of Kansas Oh my ticket out of Kansas Oh my ticket
