About Ticket to Ride

"Ticket to Ride" is a song by the English rock group the Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. Issued as a single in April 1965, it became the Beatles' seventh consecutive number 1 hit in the United Kingdom and their third consecutive number 1 hit (and sixth in total) in the United States, and similarly topped national charts in Canada, Australia and Ireland. The song was included on their 1965 album Help! Recorded at EMI Studios in London in February that year, the track marked a progression in the Beatles' work through the incorporation of drone and harder-sounding instrumentation relative to their previous releases. Among music critics, Ian MacDonald describes the song as "psychologically deeper than anything the Beatles had recorded before" and "extraordinary for its time"."Ticket to Ride" appears in a sequence in the Beatles' second feature film, Help!, directed by Richard Lester. Live performances by the band were included in the Beatles at Shea Stadium concert film, on the live album documenting their concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, and on the 1996 Anthology 2 box set. In 1969, "Ticket to Ride" was covered by the Carpenters, whose version peaked at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100.

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The boy that's driving me mad
Is going away

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
And he don't care

He said that living with me
Was bringing him down, yeah
He would never be free
When I was around

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
And he don't care

Don't know why he's riding so high
He oughta do right, he oughta do right by me
Before he gets to saying goodbye
He oughta do right, he oughta do right by me

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The boy that's driving me mad
Is going away

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
And he don't care, don't care where

Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad

Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
