Ticket To Anywhere

Story Behind The Song

This is one of those themes I keep coming back to time and time again. Stepping out on faith, breaking with conformity and dreaming big. As an artist and songwriter I feel like I've done my fair share of that over the past two decades. The title of this song comes from something a mentor of mine used to say to encourage me when I was younger. He very kindly told me more than once "You can write your ticket anywhere"

Lyrics

It's seems too comfortable maybe not optimal
And if no one cares we're better off out there

So come on and give me your hand
Sometimes you don't need a plan
The road is long but I'm not scared
This is our ticket to anywhere

They'll call us renegades a couple of aimless strays
Why would we listen to that why should we ever go back

So come on and give me your hand
Sometimes you don't need a plan
The road is long but I'm not scared
This is our ticket to anywhere

The is long but I'm not scared, no I'm not scared baby
This is our ticket to anywhere
