"Lonely Hearts Club"
When the letter came this morning
Happy teardrops filled my eyes
It had a picture of a smiling face
And a ticket tucked inside
He didn't have to write one word
I understood it all
The picture said "I love you" and
The ticket said "Come home"
Well the big ole wheels
Are turning as we roll on down the line
"Hey there big conductor
Won't you get me there on time"
The Kudzu vines are winding
Up the trees beside the road
The grass is getting greener
So we must be getting close
There he stands a-waiting,
As the train pulls to the gate
There's so many things to ask him
But they're gonna have to wait
With cap in hand he stands there
Every hair is combed in place
His shiny boots reflec/ting
The big smile on his face
Lonely Hearts Club tell me,
Why do they call you lonely?
You've made me happier
Than I've ever been
For the price of a letter
And one old faded picture
You've helped me
Find myself to love a man
Arm in arm he leads me
To his buckboard by the tree
Hand in hand we ride
To the house he built for me
He picks me up and gently
Carries me through
The cabin door
Goodbye Lonely Hearts Club
I don't need you anym/ore
Lonely Hearts Club tell me,
Why do they call you lonely?
You've made me happier
Than I've ever been
For the price of a letter
And one old faded picture
You've helped me
Find myself to love a man
Lonely Hearts Club tell me,
Why do they call you lonely?
You've made me happier
Than I've ever been
For the price of a letter
And one old faded picture
You've helped me
Find myself to love a man
Lonely Hearts Club tell me,
Why do they call you lonely?
