Ticket to Paradise

Written by Jeff Rolfzen & Rocky Steen-Rolfzen

When life is like a ball and a chain

And you can’t find the words to say

I’m gonna love you anyway

Cuz you’re my everything

When people started calling us names

We pushed the whole wide world away

Now there’s always room to complain

And that’s just fine by me

Life up your voice don’t ramble

Though you ramble on so well

That’s how I got wound up and caught with your spell

When life is like a big parade

And everybody’s marching in your way

You and I can make a break

And just get away

So give me just a second to make

A worry or two go away

I will always want you here to stay

Cuz you’re my everything

The leaves are rustling in the trees

The wood smoke fills the air

I’m dancing, you’re singing

Baby I’m staying here     (And I’m not going anywhere)

When the morning is foggy and grey

And the snowbirds are here to stay

I wouldn’t have it any other way

Cuz I have everything

So I’ll be counting on all of the ways

To put a smile on your face

And I’m not ashamed to say

That you’re my everything

The fireflies are shining

And the crickets sing their tune

Your face glows in the candlelight

And I’m so happy to be with you     (And I’m not going anywhere)

When life is like a ball and a chain

And you can’t find the words to say

I’m gonna love you anyway

Cuz you’re my everything

When life is like a ball and a chain

I’ll be your ticket to paradise

And I will always love you just the same

Cuz you’re my everything
