Mmmm… oohhhh … yeea yeea yeaah
One way ticket
One way ticket.
One way ticket
One way ticket.
One way ticket to the blues.

Choo choo train
Tuckin' down the track
Gotta travel on it
Never comin' back
Ooh
Ooh got a one way ticket to the blues.

Bye bye love
My babe is leavin' me
Now lonely tear drops are all that i can see.

Ooh
Ooh
Got a one way ticket to the blues
Gonna take a trip to lonesome town
Gonna stay at heartbreak hotel.

A fool such as i a fool such as i
There never was
I cry my tears away.

One way ticket
One way ticket.
One way ticket
One way ticket.
One way ticket to the blues.

Choo choo train
Tuckin' down the track
Gotta travel on it
Never comin' back
Ooh
Ooh got a one way ticket to the blues.

Gotta go on

Gotta truck on
Got a one way ticket to the blues.

I gotta take a trip to lonesome town
Gonna stay at heartbreak hotel
Ooh
A fool such as i a fool such as i
There never was i cry my tears away.

One way ticket
One way ticket.
One way ticket
One way ticket.
One way ticket to the blues.

Choo choo train
Tuckin' down the track
Gotta travel on it
Never comin' back
Ooh yeah yeah yeah
Ooh got a one way ticket to the blues.

Got my ticket...




There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad

Overall Meaning

The song "One Way Ticket" by W.W. is a classic rock and roll anthem about a man who is heartbroken and has decided to leave everything behind and head off on a one-way trip. The lyrics are clear and unambiguous, conveying his sense of determination and loss. The song starts with a catchy melody and a guitar riff that sets the tone for the whole piece. The lyrics are full of images of travel, such as the train chugging down the track, the idea of never coming back, and the trip to lonesome town.


The first verse of the song establishes the theme of leaving everything behind, and the chorus repeats the phrase "One way ticket to the blues." The second verse introduces the idea of lost love and tears, which are further developed later in the song. The bridge of the song features a reference to "Heartbreak Hotel," adding to the melancholic, tragic feeling of the piece. The final verse returns to the idea of leaving everything behind, ending with the same refrain of "One way ticket to the blues."

Without volcanoes, most of Earth's water would still be trapped in the crust and mantle. Early volcanic eruptions led to the Earth's second atmosphere, which led to Earth's modern atmosphere. Besides water and air, volcanoes are responsible for Land formation, another necessity for many life forms.
