[00:07.72]Sixteen carriages drivin' away
[00:10.82]While I watch them ride with my dreams away
[00:14.61]To the summer sunset on a holy night
[00:18.41]On a long back road all the tears I fight
[00:22.80]Sixteen carriages drivin' away
[00:25.92]While I watch them ride with my dreams away
[00:29.76]To the summer sunset on a holy night
[00:33.49]On a long back road all the tears I fight
[00:37.88]At fifteen the innocence was gone astray
[00:41.07]Had to leave my home at an early age
[00:45.04]I saw Mama prayin' I saw Daddy grind
[00:48.65]All my tender problems had to leave behind
[00:52.77]It's been umpteenth summers and I'm not in my bed
[00:54.80]On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
[00:56.72]Goin' so hard gotta choose myself
[00:58.72]Under paid and overwhelmed
[01:00.62]I might cook clean but still won't fold
[01:02.40]Still workin' on my life you know
[01:04.27]Only God knows only God knows
[01:06.27]Only God knows
[01:08.31]Sixteen carriages drivin' away
[01:11.28]While I watch them ride with my fears away
[01:15.35]To the summer sunset on a holy night
[01:19.11]On a long back road all the tears I fight
[01:23.42]Sixteen carriages drivin' away
[01:26.48]While I watch them ride with my fears away
[01:30.34]To the summer sunset on a holy night
[01:34.05]On a long back road all the tears I fight
[01:45.88]Sixteen dollars workin' all day
[01:49.23]Ain't got time to waste I got art to make
[01:53.09]I got love to create on this holy night
[01:56.87]They won't dim my light all these years I fight
[02:00.71]It's been thirty-eight summers and I'm not in my bed
[02:02.85]On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
[02:04.72]Goin' so hard now I miss my kids
[02:06.52]Overworked and overwhelmed
[02:08.50]I might cook clean but still won't fold
[02:10.42]Still workin' on my life you know
[02:12.27]Only God knows only God knows
[02:14.18]Only God knows
[02:16.20]Sixteen carriages driving away
[02:19.37]While I watch them ride with my fears away
[02:23.25]To the summer sunset on a holy night
[02:27.10]On a long back road all the tears I fight
[02:31.39]Sixteen carriages driving away
[02:34.45]While I watch them ride with my fears away
[02:38.40]To the summer sunset on a holy night
[02:42.02]On a long back road all these tears I fight
[02:50.05]Oh oh
[02:57.69]Oh
[03:01.69]At fifteen the innocence was gone astray
[03:04.67]Had to take care of home at an early age
[03:08.46]I saw Mama cryin' I saw Daddy lyin'
[03:12.43]Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind
[03:16.22]The legacy is the last thing I do
[03:20.03]You'll remember me 'cause we got somethin' to prove
[03:23.94]In your memory on a highway to truth
[03:27.98]Still see your faces when you close your eyes
[03:39.35]Sixteen carriages drivin' away
[03:42.57]While I watch them ride with my dreams away

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