once upon a time there was this man
old and gray, fading away,
he said he had been in the army and jail
married twice, wounded in a war

when he was a young man, twenty something
he got his dreams and life ahead
it wasn't always that rosy for him
but he played his part and got his reward

Life is one way ticket, a falling leaf
it don't last forever, a drying teardrop lonely

it felt like he would be drunk forever
cannot have those days back ever
the promises that he couldn't keep
later there was no need to weep

Life is one way ticket, a falling leaf
it don't last forever, it's a drying teardrop lonely
