[Dolly Parton - Heartbreak Express lyrics]
Packing my suitcase
Writing a tear-stained goodbye note
Saying so long to a love gone
Wrong and that's all she wrote
Leaving behind what once was
Mine with sad regrets
But it's all gone now and I'm leaving town
On the Heartbreak Express
Walking 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
Waiting 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 leaving tonight
On the Heartbreak Express
Oh, I couldn't hold a candle
To a 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 have guessed
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 forget
But there's no going back
So roll down the track
You ole Heartbreak Express
Feeling alone while a low whistle moans
On the Heartbreak Express
Writing a tear-stained goodbye note
Saying so long to a love gone
Wrong and that's all she wrote
Leaving behind what once was
Mine with sad regrets
But it's all gone now and I'm leaving town
On the Heartbreak Express
Walking 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
Waiting 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 leaving tonight
On the Heartbreak Express
Oh, I couldn't hold a candle
To a 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 have guessed
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 forget
But there's no going back
So roll down the track
You ole Heartbreak Express
Feeling alone while a low whistle moans
On the Heartbreak Express
