Ticket to Rise Songtext
von Black Star Riders

I guess I was bad
Didn′t do what ishoulda done
My daddy caught me drinking
Told me to be a good son
My momma wept
My little sister hid
Underneath her bed
Where all the demons lived
That weren't inside her head
That weren′t inside her head

I've been a saint, a sinner, a healer, a heathen
Street walker, sky writer, gambler and dealer
I've been lost, found, confused, abused
Taken for granted... and used
From the hands of the enemy
I′ve broken loose
With a license to defy
I′ve got a ticket to rise


Stole my daddy's car
I was way too high to drive
That day sitting in that ford
I never felt, felt so alive

I′ve been a saint, a sinner, a healer, a heathen
Street walker, sky writer, gambler and dealer
I've been lost, found, confused, abused
Taken for granted... and used
From the hands of the enemy
I′ve broken loose
With a license to defy
I've got a ticket to rise

From the hands of the enemy
I′ve broken loose
With a licence to defy

I've been a saint, a sinner, a healer, a heathen
Street walker, sky writer, gambler and dealer
I've been lost, found, confused, abused
Taken for granted... and used
From the hands of the enemy
I′ve broken loose
With a license to defy
I′ve got a ticket to rise


I've got a ticket to rise

I′ve got a ticket to rise

I've got a ticket to rise

I′ve got a ticket to rise

I've got a ticket to rise

I′ve got a ticket to rise

I've got a ticket to rise

I've got a ticket to rise
