Tracy Chapman - She's Got Her Ticket Lyrics

I got this as a tape (came out at the end of the 80’s) and I played it to death. Eventually got the CD. It was so hard to pick a favorite song as they were all well chosen, well written and beautifully performed. Still playing it at the end of 2019.

he's a beautiful soul singer and I'm telling stories about her and stuff she the folk singer but a rock singer she's very talented and she's very lovely and she's the end of the traction to our existence I think thank God for her and her talent is that so exuberant the beautiful person

💣💣💣💚

j'adore, j'adore, j'adore

Hoping me and wee girl can get our tickets! I have shed my pretences. I will find my place one day in the sun and hopefully a Cuban one!

When is she getting out of jail

@Adithian Karuvannur she went to prison for killing her lover

I will fuckin fly x

Tracy Chapman wow what a great voice! 💖

My ticket is her song.

mint song at 420 when ya stoned. Go Tracy

💖💖💖

She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she's 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...

Thank you for writing the words down all the best Alun

Thank you, helped with my closure...

That's the shit right there love you tracy

Tracy Chapman was my favorite female singer when i was a little girl.

Why didn't I stay in Peoria when I was 17 & give myself a chance in the life I could of had.

Live our text
Different of slam of kufn'th and joke

I love her. Right people she had an album in the late 80s or 90s with an sexual awareness/aids benefit am thinking it was in New York. It was her best album I can't find it. It was on deezer or Spotify.

Good stoner tune!!! Still sooking the bong to this in2018

Non tkt just each two birthday mind and twelve

i agree

Luv u Tracy

Maybay one day ive got my ticket and i fly to my beloved country Ecuador. I miss the people and my friends.

Ecuador! https://youtu.be/QUvdjcFdoOc

How much are the tickets?

J adore 👌🎶🎶

Wish I had a ticket...

My aunties funeral song, miss u always and forever fuck suicide❤

Endlich auf youtube!😍

The guitar really sounds like Mark Knopfler

Well said

The early dire straits albums were knopflers' greatest work, in my humble opinion, and his debut solo album. I forget the name but by God, that was some album.

I was looking for this song everywhere
Now on YouTube
Since child i use to listen to her from Burkina Faso

Florent Sawadogo. .. she inspirational!

Find your ticket brethren.

On and up.

Much love.

We all got our own ticket for life

Fast car of smoking
Baby boy

she got a ticket in another name. fly fly fly.😉

Grece and médecine 9
Of my best friend since years old

Amooóooó todas canções dela!

I adore this song this has really overtaken Fast Car for me.
Please excuse the pun folks! Xxx

Nah, both are great tunes, in different ways. The messages are completely different. I love both (and others)... 'o)

Subcity us so under rated & unheard but one of her greatest

All the cover attempts of fast car killed it for me this and across the lines for me.

Dave Barrett have people really tried to cover a Tracy Chapman song coz that’s ridiculous

Fast car has been abused by the radio. Its my least favorite. For my lover or mountains o things are far better

Life is where u take it
Crazy mike

Too much hatred. #shesgotherticket

"If she's got her ticket" who should try to stop her?

I will stop her and bring her to my home

I hope you'll take good care of her!! As you know the song's lyrics include... "too much hated, corruption and greed" as to being the reason she wants to "Get Her Ticket" and fly away in the first place. By the way have you heard Tracy's "Why?" It's of people's contractions in thoughts and ask why they say/do and/or believe in things if they're not true. "Why do babies starve if there's enough food to feed the world?" and "Why is a woman still not safe when she's in her home?" are just two lyrics from "Why?"

Angela Hodges dont be worried about that
For me she is the best in all USA

I take Tracy Chapman and her music very seriously!! She and musician Sam Smith are my Facebook page and/or Twitter account. I even only consider fellow fans of either of them as Facebook friends.

Racism, viciousness, hardships, hurt, pain, voids of humanity....

You need to poeticise your hardened heart my yout

Good song

🎶💖🎶

Mizz Nixx fine song

If I could wear out a CD, my Tracy Chapman one would be toast. Such a great song. I'm a fan forever :-)

She dadlyv we wish more for someone like herv i love she

@lois LippShitt I got the cassette back in the day before CDs as well!! 😊 listened to it over and over in my walk man! Hee hee!! And over....
