Said to the man at the railroad station
I want a ticket
Just for one
He said
Well
If you insist
But where you wanna go
A miss
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
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
This old world ain't got no back door
'Cause if it did
It would swing both ways
And we'd go on back to happy yesterdays
When he loved me tenderly
And all he needed was me
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
Which stop would you prefer
Oh
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
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
