[Verse 1]
I'd like a one-way ticket home, ticket home
Where I can watch my television, talk on the telephone
In every town I wander there's a billboard on a throne
Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home
Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home

[Verse 2]
Does anybody know my name or recognize my face?
I must have come from somewhere, but I can't recall the place
They dropped me at the matinee, they left without a trace
Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home

[Bridge]
Elvis Presley is the king, I was at his crowning
My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning

[Verse 3]
Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane
(Sha la la la la)
Breaking distance in the skies while diving in champagne
(Sha la la la la)
I would be in exile now but everywhere's the same
Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home
Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home
[Bridge]
Elvis Presley is the king, I was at his crowning
My life just flashed before my eyes, I must be drowning

[Verse 4]
Seems like only yesterday I climbed aboard the plane
(Sha la la la la)
Breaking distance in the skies while diving in champagne
(Sha la la la la)
I would be in exile now, but everywhere's the same
Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home
Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home
Ticket home (Ticket home), I want a ticket home
