(Dolly Parton)
|
Packin' my suitcase writin' a tear stained good-bye note
|
Sayin' so long to a love gone wrong and that's all she wrote
|
Leavin' behind what once was mine with sad regrets
|
But it's all gone now and I'm leavin' town on the Heartbreak Express
|
|
Walkin in the rain with a heart full of pain to the train depot
|
The only things that's gonna keep me warm now is my overcoat
|
Lost and lonely waitin in line at the ticket desk
|
Hey mister won't you give me a one-way ticket on the Heartbreak Express
|
|
I'm gonna roll on down the line
|
I'm gonna go so far I'm gonna get it off my mind
|
It hurts to know it ain't enough when you give your best
|
Got a ticket to ride and I'm leavin tonight on the Heartbreak Express
|
|
Oh I couldn't hold a candle to a flaming beauty that caught his eye
|
It's killin' me now but I won't stay around and let him watch me die
|
Oh it just goes to show you never do know 'cause I never would'a guessed
|
I'd be sittin' here now on a train sorrow bound called the Heartbreak Express
|
|
I'm gonna roll on down the line
|
I'm gonna go so far I'm gonna get it off mt mind
|
Maybe someday somewhere someway I will forget
|
But there's no goin' back so roll down the track you ole Heartbreak Express
|
Feelin' alone while a low whistle moans
|
On the Heartbreak Express
