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.
"Sir, I told the man at the railroad station"
"I want a ticket just for one"
He said "Well, if you insist
But where you wanna go, miss?"
Destination: anywhere; east or west, I don't care
You see, my baby don't want me no more
And this ol' 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 could understand"
Destination: anywhere; east or west, I don't care
You see, my baby don't want me no more
And this ol' world ain't got no back door
'Cause if it did, it would swing both ways
And I'd go back to happy yesterdays
When I loved him tenderly and all he did was leave
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
"What 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 ol' 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
