Well I put on my overcoat and shined my walkin' shoes

I've got the sense to get out of the rain

You've got the best of me and I know I can't win

Well I've come to recognize that old familiar pain



Chorus

Well I've been too long on a heartbreak highway

On the wings of love there's a heavy load

But if it can't fly I'll take the train dear

I've done enough cryin' on the shoulder

Of a heartbreak highway



You've thrown away the king of hearts leavin' you the queen

If you play other hearts there in your hand

I won't be the victim of this catch me if you can

It's hard to keep on dancin' girl if you can't hear the band



Chorus repeats twice

Of a heartbreak highway
