Sixteen carriages drivin' away
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
On a long back road, all the tears I fought
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
On a long back road, all the tears I fought
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
Had to leave my home at an early age
Had to leave my home at an early age
I saw Mama prayin', I saw Daddy grind
I saw Mama prayin', I saw Daddy grind
All my tender problems, had to leave behind
All my tender problems had to be left behind
It's been umpteen summers and I'm not in my bed
It's been umpteen summers and I'm not in my bed
On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
Goin' so hard, gotta choose myself
Goin' so hard, gotta choose myself
Underpaid and overwhelmed
Underpaid and overwhelmed
I might cook, clean, but still won't fold
I might cook, clean, but still won't fold
Still workin' on my life, you know
Still workin' on my life, you know
Only God knows, only God knows
Only God knows, only God knows
Only God knows
Only God knows
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
On a long back road, all the tears I fought
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
On a long back road, all the tears I fought
Sixteen dollars, workin' all day
Sixteen dollars, workin' all day
Ain't got time to waste, I got art to make
Ain't got time to waste, I got art to make
I got love to create on this holy night
I got love to create on this holy night
They won't dim my light, all these years I fight
They won't dim my light, all these years I fought
It's been thirty-eight summers and I'm not in my bed
It's been thirty-eight summers and I'm not in my bed
On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
Goin' so hard, now I miss my kids
Goin' so hard, now I miss my kids
Overworked and overwhelmed
Overworked and overwhelmed
I might cook, clean, but still won't fold
I might cook, clean, but still won't fold
Still workin' on my life, you know
Still workin' on my life, you know
Only God knows, only God knows
Only God knows, only God knows
Only God knows
Only God knows
Sixteen carriages driving away
Sixteen carriages driving away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
On a long back road, all the tears I fought
Sixteen carriages driving away
Sixteen carriages driving away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all these tears I fight
On a long back road, all these tears I fight
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
Had to take care of home at an early age
Had to take care of home at an early age
I saw Mama cryin', I saw Daddy lyin'
I saw Mama cryin', I saw Daddy lyin'
Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind
Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind
The legacy, if it's the last thing I do
The legacy, if it's the last thing I do
You'll remember me 'cause we got somethin' to prove
You'll remember me 'cause we got something to prove
In your memory on a highway to truth
In your memory on a highway to truth
Still see your faces when you close your eyes
Still see your faces when you close your eyes
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
