Well, you left me at the station
without a reservation
Packed your bags and left
me on a permanent vacation
I can hear those wheels a -turnin'
Juggin' on the lumber band.
And I'm scared deep in my heart
that this could be the end.
Our love was full of pleasure,
a love so hard to measure.
Days and nights were so much fun,
I wish you would remember. I gotta flag down that caboose and turn my baby blues back to me.
Hear those wheels a
turnin' turnin'
Engines stoked and burnin' burnin'
My heart's broken
yearnin' yearnin'
Cause I know you ain't returnin'
Riding on that heartbreak train away
Oh yeah, riding on that heartbreak
train away
Hey, hey, hey, why'd you go
and leave me this way?
Well, I got tracks across my heart,
burned up bridges, broke the tide
You ran away and left me all
alone with your life
Oh, what's your locomotive for
leaving me alone?
Oh, baby, don't look back,
just hop the train,
bell for pointing on.
I can hear that lonesome whistle
blowin' low down in my mind.
And I wonder if you think about
that girl you left behind.
Oh, think about her.
Hear those wheels a -turnin',
turnin',
engines stokin', burnin', burnin'.
My heart's broken, yearning, yearning
Cause I know you ain't returning
Riding on that heartbreak train away,
oh yeah
Riding on that heartbreak train away
Riding on that heartbreak train away,
oh yeah
Riding on that heartbreak train
