Climb aboard (climb aboard)
The Lonesome Express
Ride along (ride along)
The Lonesome Express
All aboard if you're lonely like me
There's always one more town down the lonesome line it seems
Well, I been a hero and I've been low down
Been long enough a stranger in my new home town
I broke your heart to pieces and I proved untrue
I'll sell this ring for a single ticket to
Climb aboard (climb aboard)
The Lonesome Express
Ride along (ride along)
The Lonesome Express
All aboard if you're lonely like me
There's always one more town down the lonesome line it seems
The dining cars are dingy and full of smoke
The bartender don't smile or tell you jokes
The sleeper cars are cold, dark and small
So you can lie alone and cry about it all
Climb aboard (climb aboard)
The Lonesome Express
Ride along (ride along)
The Lonesome Express
All aboard if you're lonely like me
There's always one more town down the lonesome line it seems
Down the line she goes
Through rain and sleet and snow
She's takin' all the lonely people where lonely people go
Ride alone (all aboard)
If you're lonely like me
There's always one more town down that lonesome line it seems
Takin' home then lonely heartbroke fools like me
