Packin' my suitcase, writin' a tear-stained goodbye 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 (on down the line)
I'm gonna go so far, I'm gonna get it off my mind
(Get it off your 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
(Heartbreak Express)
Oh, I couldn't hold a candle to the 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 that you never do know
'Cause I never would've guessed
I'd be sittin' here now on a train sorrow bound called the Heartbreak Express
I'm gonna roll on down the line (on down the line)
I'm gonna go so far, I'm gonna get it off my mind
(Get it off your mind)
Maybe someday, somewhere, someway, I will forget
But there's no goin' back
So roll down the track, you ole Heartbreak Express
(Heartbreak Express)
Feelin' alone while a low whistle moans on the Heartbreak Express
Roll on, roll on down the line (down the line)
Gonna get him off my mind
Roll on, roll on, roll on down the line
Got a ticket to ride, so I'm leavin' tonight on the Heartbreak Express
(Heartbreak Express)
