Destination Anywhere
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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)
