Tore out her page from my little book

Took out her picture, gave it one last look

Hung a big sign out on the door

Sayin' love don't live around here anymore

Picked up what was left of my pride

Topped off the tank for a long hard ride

Seventeen miles outta Lonely ville

Yonder came a darlin' in a coupe deville

So long heartache, adios

Sorrow, see you later, time to hit the road

Goodbye pain and misery

Hello L O V E, oh yeah

Well I spun around and I hit the gas

Hot on the tail of that Cadillac

Said a little prayer, held my breath

Sure 'nough the green light turned to red

So long heartache, adios

Sorrow, see you later, time to hit the road

Goodbye pain and misery

Hello L O V E, oh oh

She looked at me, I looked at her

A few days later in a little brown church

Made a sweet deal with the justice of the peace

Forty-five dollars for a license and a ring

So long heartache, adios

Sorrow, see you later, time to hit the road

Goodbye pain and misery

Hello L O, hello L O, hello L O V E, oh yeah
