Say to the man at the railroad station I want a ticket just for one
He said well, if you insist But where you wanna go I'll miss
Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't want me no more And 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 any place?
If you ever loved someone the way I love that man Surely Mr. Ticket Agent you could understand
Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't want me no more And this old world ain't got no back door
Cause if he did it would swing both ways And I'll go right back to happy yesterdays
When I loved him tenderly and all he needed was me
As I stared 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?
Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't want me no more And 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
