Standing on a corner in the middle of the night
Begging dollars from people I see
Trying to book a ticket on a one way ride
Up out of these dirty streets
And I don't know
Where I'm going no more
I don't know
And I don't care
Well the rail car's running through the streets so fast
Man, I'd jump one if it'd just slow down
There's killers on the road so there ain't much chance
Of me trying and hitching around
Oh but if I had a dollar
Boy, I'd find me a game
Then I bet you I could turn it into five
And if I had five I'd book a bullet train
And I'd ride to the end of the line
And I don't know
Where I'm going no more
I don't know
And I don't care
Well, Chicago, Cincinatti, New York City, Tucumcari, Amarillo, Los Angeles
Saskatoon, Baton Rouge, Miami, Johnson City, or anywhere in between
Anywhere but here, anywhere at all
I'm just looking for a change
I don't want to see the sun rising up on
This dirty little town again
And I don't know
Where I'm going no more
I don't know
And I don't care
I don't know
Where I'm going no more
I don't know
And I don't care
