Heartbreak Express Lyrics

Artist: Dolly Parton
Album: Heartbreak Express

Packin' my suitcase writin' a tearstained goodbye note
Stayin' 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 my heartbreak express

Walkin' 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 waitin' in line at the ticket desk
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 best
Get a ticket to ride and I'm leavin' tonight on my heartbreak express
[ sax ]
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 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 my mind
Maybe someday somewhere someway I will forget
But there's no goin' back so roll on down my track you old heartbreak express
Feelin' alone while a low whistle moans on the heartbreak express

Roll on roll on roll on down the line gonna get him off my mind
Roll on roll on roll on down the line gonna get him off my mind
Got a ticket to ride and I'm leavin' tonight on the heartbreak express
