Once I thought your love I'd win But your old flame showed up in town again Now I know your love I'd lose I've got a one way ticket to the blues I've got a one way ticket to the world that's full of tears All my dreams and hopes they're gone we built up through the years Seems I can't win I always lose I've got a one way ticket to the blues [ fiddle - steel ] I've tried to find somebody new But in my heart there's only room for you You gave me something I can't lose I've got a one way ticket to the blues I've got a one way ticket to the world that's full of tears...
