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
