"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?"

CHORUS:
Destination: anywhere; east or west, I don't care
You see, my baby don't want me no more
& this ol' world ain't got no back door

He looked at me with a funny face & 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"

(chorus)

'Cause if it did, it would swing both ways
& I'd go back to happy yesterdays
When I loved him tenderly & 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?"
