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
'Til I found out she'd been a fooling around

Oh, 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 then our bedroom
The skies are blue down in Alabam
But they won't be any bluer then I am

Oh, 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

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
