[Verse 1] 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 me eighty-five dollars worth of highway mile [Verse 2] 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 Well I found out she's 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 [Verse 3] 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, 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 [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
