Lonely Hearts Club Lyrics

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 wordI 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 closeThere 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 waitWith cap in hand he stands there
Every hair is combed in place
His shiny boots reflecting

The big smile on his faceLonely hearts club tell me
Why do they call you lonely?
You've made me happier
Than I've ever beenFor the price of a letter
And one old faded picture
You've helped me
Find myself to love a manArm in arm he leads me
To his buckboard by the tree
Hand in hand we ride
To the house he built for meHe picks me up and gently
Carries me through the cabin door
Goodbye lonely hearts club
I don't need you anymoreLonely hearts club tell me
Why do they call you lonely?
You've made me happier
Than I've ever beenFor the price of a letter
And one old faded picture
You've helped me
Find myself to love a manLonely hearts club tell me
Why do they call you lonely?
You've made me happier
Than I've ever beenFor the price of a letter
And one old faded picture
You've helped me
Find myself to love a manLonely hearts club tell me
Why do they call you lonely?
