Said to the man at the railroad station, "I want a ticket, just for one." He said, "Well, if you insist. Where you wanna go, Miss?"
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, the way I loved that man, Surely Mr. ticket agent, you should understand."
Destination anywhere East or west, I don't care You see my baby don't want 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 him tenderly And all he 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}
