| Hey mister, what time does the next bus leave
|
| I’m a party of one out of Tennessee
|
| I won’t be back for a long, long while
|
| Give you eighty-five dollars to the highway mile
|
| I ain’t got no luggage as you can see
|
| Just a whole lot of heavy memories
|
| I was finally up for just a-settling down
|
| When I found out she’d been a-fooling around
|
| (Chorus): Ah, you can send me north, you can send me south
|
| Just don’t send me past my house
|
| Don’t ask me where I’m going, cause I don’t care
|
| I want a ticket that’ll take me anywhere but here
|
| A ticket that’ll take me anywhere but here
|
| Well, I hear it’s cold up in Saskatoon
|
| But it couldn’t be colder than our bedroom
|
| The skies are blue down in Alabam'
|
| But they won’t be any bluer than I am
|
| Ah, you can send me north and you can send me south
|
| But just don’t send me past my house
|
| Don’t ask me where I’m going, cause I don’t care
|
| I want a ticket that’ll take me anywhere but here
|
| A ticket that’ll take me anywhere but here |
