Heartbreak express

Heartbreak express Lyrics

(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
