I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.
I wonder if she knows
That I don’t really want to go, oh no
I still love her so.

I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.
I never though the day
Would come when I would say good bye this way
Wanted so to stay.

I got a ticket on a ferry ride.

I still love her so.
Don’t really wanna go.

I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.
I wonder if she knows
That I don’t really have to go, oh no
I still love her so.

I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.
I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.

I got a ticket on a ferry ride, ah.
I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
