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
