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 these streets so fast, man, I'd jump one if he'd just slow down There's killers on the road so it ain't much chance of me trying and hitching around Oh, but if I had a dollar boy, I'd find me a game, and I bet you I could turn it into five And if I had five I'd book a bullet train and I'd ride it 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, Cincinnati, 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
