Lyrics

[Chorus]
Blue Smoke climbin' up the mountain, Blue Smoke windin' 'round the bend
Blue Smoke is the name of the heartbreak train that I am ridin' in
I left a note, I wrote, "I'm leaving and I won't be coming back"
Blue Smoke rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling down the track
Clickity, clickity, clickity-clack, just stay on track an' never look back
Choo-choo, choo-choo, woo-woo-woo, Blue Smoke is comin' through
[Verse 1]
Oh, I know I'm gonna miss you, but I hope it ain't for long
And I wonder if you're even gonna notice that I'm gone
Oh, it hurts to know you cheated and it hurts to know you lied
But it hurts me even worse to know you never even tried
I packed my suitcase full of heartaches, headin' for the train depot
And I bought a one-way ticket on the train they call Blue Smoke
I left the station straight-up midnight, feelin' lonely, lost and blue
In a trail of Blue Smoke with my heart broke, I said good-bye to you
[Chorus]
Blue Smoke climbin' up the mountain, Blue Smoke windin' 'round the bend
Blue Smoke is the name of the heartbreak train that I am ridin' in
I left a note, I wrote, "I'm leaving and I won't be coming back"
Blue Smoke rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling down the track
Oh, clickity, clickity, clickity-clack, just stay on track an' never look back
Choo-choo, choo-choo, woo-woo-woo, Blue Smoke is comin' through
[Instrumental]
Hey, I done made up my mind
I'm really goin' this time
I've had just about all the heartache I can stand
Get up on that train, girl, get up there
[Bridge]
Climbin' up the mountain, windin' 'round the bend (Oh, I'm climbin')
Blue Smoke is the name of the heartbreak train that I am ridin' in (Ooh, Blue Smoke)
Left a note, I wrote, "I'm leaving and I won't be coming back" (I left a note, I ain't comin' back)
Blue Smoke rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling down the track (I ain't never comin' back)
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling down the track
Woo-woo, roll with me now
[Chorus]
Blue Smoke climbin' up the mountain, Blue Smoke windin' 'round the bend
Blue Smoke is the name of the heartbreak train that I am ridin' in
I left a note, I wrote, "I'm leaving and I won't be coming back"
Blue Smoke rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling down the track, oh
[PostChorus]
Blue Smoke climbin' up the mountain, Blue Smoke windin' 'round the bend (Blue smoke climbin', blue smoke windin')
It's rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling down the track
[Outro]
Oh, Blue Smoke climbin', I said goodbye and
I'm rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling down the track
Oh, I'm rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling down the track
