Packing my suitcase writing a tearstained goodbye note Staying so long to a love gone wrong and that’s all she wrote Leaving behind what once was mine with sad re-gr-ets But it’s all gone now and I’m leaving town on my heartbreak express Walking in the rain with a heart full of pain to the train depot The only thing that’s gonna keep me warm now is my overcoat Lost and lonely waiting in line at the ticket d-e-sk Hey Mr. would you give me a one-way ticket on my 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 b-e-st Get a ticket to ride and I’m leaving tonight on my heartbreak express Oh I couldn’t hold a candle to the flaming beauty that caught his eye It’s killing me now but I won’t stay around and let him watch me die Oh it just goes to show that you never do know cause I never would’ve gue-ssed I’d be sitting 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 my mind Maybe someday somewhere someway I will for-get But there’s no going back so roll on down my track you old heartbreak express Feeling alone while a low whistle moans on the heartbreak express
