“Ticket To Ride” is on the 1965 album, Help!. The lyrics describe a girl who is leaving despite having the opportunity to be with a Beatle!
The song was written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney). Lennon said that McCartney’s contribution was limited to “the way Ringo played the drums.”...
[Verse 1]
I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad is going away
[Chorus]
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care
[Verse 2]
She said that living with me is bringing her down, yeah
She would never be free when I was around
[Chorus]
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care
[Bridge]
I don't know why she's riding so high
She ought to think twice, she ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice, she ought to do right by me
[Verse 3]
I think I'm going to be sad, I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad is going away, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care
[Bridge]
I don't know why she's riding so high
She ought to think twice, she ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice, she ought to do right by me
[Verse 4]
She said that living with me was bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free when I was around
[Chorus]
Oh, she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care
[Outro]
My baby don't care
My baby don't care
My baby don't care
My baby don't care
My baby don't care
My baby don't care
Ticket to Ride was written by Lennon-McCartney & John Lennon.
Ticket to Ride was produced by George Martin.
The Beatles released Ticket to Ride on Fri Apr 09 1965.
Lennon claimed that this composition of his was the first heavy-metal song.
McCartney, who played lead guitar said that –
We almost invented the idea of a new bit of a song on the fade-out. It was quite radical at the time.
From the Rolling Stone.
“Ticket To Ride” is played when The Beatles escape The Alps to avoid the rain stealers.
