[Verse]

I'm packing my bags for a lonely ride

Where the neon lights flicker and the shadows hide

A jukebox croons while the memories swell

I'll check right in at Heartbreak Hotel

[Chorus]

Oh lonesome road where the fools all go

Where the tears run deep and the heartbeats slow

I'm a clown with a crown of sorrow to sell

At the corner suite of Heartbreak Hotel

[Verse 2]

The bellhop smiles with a knowing nod

Says "Welcome home to the broken squad"

Room key heavy like the weight I bear

Wallpaper peeling but I just don't care

[Chorus]

Oh lonesome road where the fools all go

Where the tears run deep and the heartbeats slow

I'm a clown with a crown of sorrow to sell

At the corner suite of Heartbreak Hotel

[Bridge]

No wake-up call no morning sun

Just a radio whispering "You're not the one"

I tip my hat to the ghosts in the hall

They know my name they know it all

[Chorus]

Oh lonesome road where the fools all go

Where the tears run deep and the heartbeats slow

I'm a clown with a crown of sorrow to sell

At the corner suite of Heartbreak Hotel
