Lyrics
Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride (Dargan)
A E Feeling all worn out inside F#m D Buy the ticket, take the ride A E Barely rolling with this tide F#m D Buy the ticket, take the ride
Bm F#m G D
It’s a little heavier than what you had in mind…
Bm F#m D G A
Just a little heavier than what you had in mind…
Ever seeking to divide Buy the ticket, take the ride Righteous anger justified Buy the ticket, take the ride
(CHORUS)
F#m G You might be way in over your head D G D A But you can’t turn back, no, you can’t turn back
(GTR SOLO over Verse)
We try to act so dignified Buy the ticket, take the ride Change your mind till you can’t decide Buy the ticket, take the ride
(CHORUS)
Buy the ticket, take the ride Buy the ticket, take the ride

Nice harmonies and a well written and played song. I can easily imagine this as a full rock song with drums and bass and a nice backing guitar. Good hook, “buy the ticket, take the ride”.
I love the whole vibe of this song. It reminds me a lot of Semisonic or an acoustic version of BoDeans. It flows really nicely and that hook "Buy the ticket, take the ride" is still echoing in my head. Nice one!
Agree with everyone, so catchy! Love the harmonies. And I think this is a subtle political piece but it could apply to much more than that.
Very Catchy tune! I know your audience will be singing right along with you!
Great catchy chorus here. A Marshall Crenshaw A-side, perhaps?
Very nice vocal sound :) And don't forget to put this on the Lost Highway soundtrack ;)
