The Commitments movie - Destination Anywhere lyrics

rate me

Song by Niamh Kavanagh<br /><br>

Said to the man at the railroad station,<br>

"I want a ticket, just for one."<br>

He said, "Well, if you insist. Where you wanna go, Miss?"<br>

<br>

Oh, destination anywhere<br>

East or west, I don't care<br>

You see my baby don't love me no more<br>

This old world ain't got no back door<br>

<br>

He looked at me with a funny face and said,<br>

"Are you sure you wanna go just anyplace?"<br>

I said, "If you ever loved someone, the way I loved that man,<br>

Surely Mr. ticket agent, you should understand."<br>

<br>

Destination anywhere<br>

East or west, I don't care<br>

You see my baby don't want me no more<br>

This old world ain't got no back door<br>

<br>

'Cause every day, it would swing both ways<br>

And we'd go on back to happy yesterdays<br>

When I loved him tenderly<br>

And all he needed was me.<br>

<br>

As I stepped through the window of the train<br>

I thought I heard my baby call my name<br>

But it was just the conductor saying,<br>

"Which stop would you prefer?"<br>

<br>

Oh, destination anywhere<br>

East or west, I don't care<br>

You see my baby don't love me no more<br>

This old world ain't got no back door<br>

<br>

Destination anywhere<br>

East or west, I don't care<br>

Destination anywhere<br>

East or west, I don't care<br>

Destination anywhere<br>

East or west, I don't care<br>

Destination anywhere<br>

East or west, I don't care<br>

(ad lib to end)<br>

<br>
