Lyrics

I got my ticket on the 5:09 from LA
nothing here for me but crime & temptation

What's there... is plain as day
Have to move on or forget what is right

You gotta be insane to
even think there's
an easy way to live off
you gotta learn to tow the line
Try to solve the problem
of living & surviving
without a lending hand

For twenty years I was preached the value of hard work
Earn your way through what you have done
But I.... wanted all for a dime
Trouble got me on a deadend street

Walking down this sidewalk
running out of options
Gotta make the call

Tell God I'm ready
to listen to redemption
and braced for the fight

No express train.............. to ride
No painless path..............to take

I got my ticket on the 5:09 from LA
nothing here for me but crime & temptation

What's there... is plain as day
