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



Chorus



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
