One Way Ticket (Because I Can)LeAnn Rimes

Released: October 15, 1996

Songwriter: Keith Hinton Judy Rodman

Producer: Wilbur C. Rimes Chuck Howard

The music was written by Brian Wilson with the lyric by local radio station DJ Roger Christian; it typified the Beach Boys' "car songs" which along with "surfing", glamorized the teenage 1960s Californian lifestyle. The car referred to is the Ford Model B; the 1932 model was referred to as a "deuce coupe". Model Bs were readily available and easily modified, as auto enthusiasts (or "hot rodders") removed spare weight and improved the engine. Brian Read more on Last.fm.

[Verse 1]
Standing on the border
Looking out into the great unknown
I can feel my heart beating faster
As I step out on my own
There's a new horizon
And the promise of favorable wind
I'm heading out tonight
Traveling light
I'm gonna start all over again

[Chorus]
And buy a one-way ticket on a westbound train
See how far I can go
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can

[Verse 2]
Gonna climb the mountain
And look the eagle in the eye
I won't let fear clip my wings
And tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed
That love had to be so blind
When freedom was waiting
Down at the station
All I had to do was make up my mind

[Chorus]
And buy a one-way ticket on a westbound train
See how far I can go
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough to let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can

[Bridge]
Well, I have walked through the fire
And crawled on my knees
Through the valley of the shadow of doubt
Then the truth came shining like a light on me
And now I can see my way out

[Chorus]
I'm gonna buy a one-way ticket on a westbound train
See how far I can go
I'm gonna go out dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I'm gonna buy a one-way ticket on a westbound train
Gonna have my breakfast with some pink champagne
I'm gonna sail the ocean
I'm gonna spread my wings
I'm gonna climb that mountain
Gonna do everything
