Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Said to the men at the railroad station
"I want a ticket just for one"
He said, "Well, if you insist
Where you wanna go, Miss?"
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
He looked at me with a funny face, and said
"Are you sure you wanna go just any place?"
I said, "If you ever loved someone the way I loved that man
Surely, Mr. ticket agent, you should understand"
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
'Cause everyday, it would swing both ways
And we'd go back to happy yesterdays
When I loved him tenderly
And all he needed was me
[Verse 6]
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?"
[Verse 7]
Oh, 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
[Verse 8]
Destination Anywhere
East or west, I don't care
Destination Anywhere
East or west, I don't care
[Verse 9]
Destination Anywhere
East or west, I don't care
Destination Anywhere
East or west, I don't care
[Verse 10]
Destination, Destination Anywhere
East or west, I just don't care
Destination Anywhere
East or west, I don't care
