Place called Susie's, I'm a waitress
Sue says, girl, you'll get used to all this
There is no way she could see how much that cold rain gets to me
How much I've traded for a picture in my mind

I got to get back in the arms of the man who loves me
I got to get back to the people who have always been proud of me
Take me back, I was wrong
Write my ticket home


Am       Am                  D          D

            Am         Am                   D         D
I wish I was talkin' 'bout nothin', with 'em right now

I got to get back in the arms of the man who loves me
I got to get back to the people who have always been proud of me
Take me back, I was wrong
C        D       C          D
Write my ticket,   write my ticket
