When the letter came this morning happy teardrops filled my eyes
It had a picture of a smiling face and a picture 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 on
The big ol´ wheels are turning as we roll on down the line
Hey there big conductor won´t you get us there on time
The cudsue vines are winding up the tree 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 hat in hand he stands there every hair is combed in place
The reflection on his boots shows 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 a loving man
Arm in arm he leads me to his buckboard by the tree
Hand in hand we ride
