Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeah
The boy that's driving me mad is going away
[Chorus]
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride and he don't care
[Verse 2]
He said that living with me was bringing him down, yeah
He would never be free when I was around
[Chorus]
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride and he don't care
[Bridge]
Don't know why he's riding so high
He oughta do right, he oughta do right by me
'Fore he gets to saying goodbye
He oughta do right, he oughta do right by me
[Verse 3]
I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeah
The boy that's driving me mad is going away, oh
[Chorus]
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride and he don't care, don't care
[Instrumental]
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
