One Way Ticket (Feb. 2013)

Headed south for the winter, north for the spring,

Tryin ta make time for the littlest things.

Gotta one way ticket, ain't comin back,

Til the weather warms up and we can unpack.

Got a dream in the west, a dream in the east,

Findin that place where my soul is free.

Oh yeah, oh yeah.


Smile cause of freedom.

Smile cause you're alive.

Smile to let them know what they're missin,

passin by you on their daily drive.


Got a free spirit in me, Im headed anywhere but here.

California beaches, bottle of wine, a lover layin near.

Playin tunes til the break of day, just to crack a few smiles.

Then leavin on my way again, down the road a few hundred miles.

Oh yeah, oh yeah.


Smile cause of freedom.

Smile cause you're alive.

Smile to let them know what they're missin,

passin by you on their daily drive.


This old guitar keeps on playin notes, one by one they come,

Singin songs of the good old days, wishin they weren't gone.

Livin life just to live, ain't worth livin at all.

Great one,Kerri!Besides the obvious title with the word "Smile" in it,the line that hit me hardest was "one way ticket" or if you like "Gotta one way ticket".That's a great title,but I could be wrong.........

Kerri this the second song of your that I've read and they have both been awesome. Again, I can hear the rhythm and music in my head just from reading the lyrics..great job!!!
