about

Hawker’s latest single “Ticket” is a classic mid tempo country song about two things that never go out of style, in any genre: broken hearts and broken dreams. She sings of bastards and radio play, social media and getting ghosted, but flips the script in a canny way, declaring a positive outlook despite the rest: “I’m satisfied with the long shot / I’ve got a ticket.” To have hope is better than the alternative. “You’re on your own,” she says, “deciding that you have worth.”

lyrics

someone from the radio station followed me last night
the boys round here keep telling me I can make it if I play it right
I’ve got a ticket
to get somewhere
I’ve got a ticket

all the boys I kissed last summer who wouldn’t call me back
picked my name out of their pockets and wanna place their bets
I’ve got a ticket
outta here
I’ve got a ticket

everyone’s been chasing something they will never get
I’ve been chasing broken hearts so pieces don’t get left
everybody wants something
I’m not afraid of what I’ve got
I’m satisfied with a long shot
I’ve got a ticket

I’ve been healing heartache since that bastard broke my heart
he might say he made me but he didn’t write this song
I’ve got a ticket
to make my way
I’ve got a ticket

everyone’s been chasing something they will never get
I’ve been chasing broken hearts so pieces don’t get left
everybody wants something, I’m not afraid of what I’ve got
I’m satisfied with a long shot

I’ve- got a ticket
it’s taking me the long way round
oh a ticket
can’t nobody slow me down

everyone’s been chasing something they will never get
I’ve been chasing broken hearts so pieces don’t get left
everybody wants something
I’m not afraid of what I’ve got
I’m satisfied with a long shot
I’m satisfied with a long shot
I’m satisfied with a long shot
I’ve got a ticket
