Got a ticket for my destination------, mm-mm, mm----,
[Am]On a tour of one-night stands,
[Am/G] My sui[F]tcase and guitar in hand,
And ev[G]ery stop is neatly planned for a p[D]oet,

[Verse 2]
Ev[G]ery day's an endless stream...
[G/F#] [G7/F] [E] [E7]
...Of cigarettes and magazines------, mm-mm, mm----,
And e[Am]ach town looks the same to me,

And e[G]very strangers' face I see...
[D] [D7] [G]
