"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
