Well I went to see my baby
With a brand-new diamond ring
When I got there I found that she was packin' up my things
I asked her what's the matter
"Uh, honey, please explain"
She just handed me a ticket for the Heartbreak Train
I turned around and walked away
I got back in my car
I thought she might be jokin'
Wouldn't let me go too far
But pretty soon I found myself
Driving through the rain
All the way down to the station
For the Heartbreak Train
Well I wonder why she let me go
And I wonder just why she set me free
And there's one more thing that I'd like to know
Just where this Heartbreak Train is takin' me
So here I am aboard the train
Ridin' down the track
Wonderin' if my baby will ever want me back
And I'm lookin' out the window
So that I won't see the pain
On the faces of the others
On this Heartbreak Train
