Said to the man at the railroad station, "I want a ticket, just for one." He said, "Well, if that’s your plan. Where you wanna go, Man?"
Oh, destination anywhere East or west, I don't care You see my baby don't love me no more This old world ain't got no back door
*He looked at me with a funny face and said, "Are you sure you wanna go just anyplace?" I said, "If you ever loved someone, loved her all you can, Surely Mr. ticket agent, you should understand."
Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care You see my baby don't love me no more This old world ain't got no back door*
'Cause every day, it would swing both ways And we'd go on back to happy yesterdays When I loved you tenderly And all you needed was me.
As I stepped through the window of the train I thought I heard my baby call my name But it was just the conductor saying, "Which stop would you prefer?"
Oh, destination anywhere East or west, I don't care You see my baby don't love me no more This old world ain't got no back door
Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care (ad lib to end)
