22nd May, 1965 - Ticket To Ride was Number One for the first and last week on the Billboard charts.

'Ticket To Ride' was slightly a new sound at the time. It was pretty heavy for then, if you go and look in in the charts for what other music people were making. You near it now and it doesn't sound too bad; but it'd make me cringe. If you find me the A track and I remix it, I'll show you what it is really, but you can hear it there. It's a heavy record and the drums are heavy too. That's why I like it.

I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today, yeah!
The girl that's drivin' me mad,
Is goin' away.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to rihihihide
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care.

She said that living with me,
Is bringin' her down yeah!
For she would never be free when I was around.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to rihihihide,
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care.

I don't know why she's ridin' so high,
She oughtta think twice,
She oughtta to do right by me.

I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today, yeah!
The girl that's drivin' me mad,
Is goin' away.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to rihihihide,
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care.

I don't know why she's ridin' so high,
She oughtta think twice,
She oughtta to do right by me.

Before she gets to sayin' goodbye,
She oughtta to think twice,
She oughtta to do right by me.

She said that livin' with me,
Is bringing her down yeah!
For she would never be free when I was around.

She's got a ticket to ride,
She's got a ticket to rihihihide,
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care.
My baby don't care, my baby don't care.
My baby don't care, my baby don't care.
