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
