16 carriages driving 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 16 carriages driving away While I watch them ride with my dreams away To the summer sunset on a holy night On a long black 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 praying, I saw Daddy grind All my tender problems had to leave behind It's been umpteen summers that I'm not in my bed On the back of the bus, in a bunk with the band Going so hard, gotta choose myself Underpaid and overwhelmed I might cook, clean, but still won't fold Still working all my life, you know Only God knows, only God knows, only God knows 16 carriages driving away While I watch them ride with my fears away Into the summer sunset on a holy night On a long back road, all the tears I fight 16 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 16 dollars working 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, in a bunk with the band Going so hard, now I miss my kids Overworked and overwhelmed I might cook, clean, but still won't fold Still working all my life, you know Only God knows, only God knows, only God knows 16 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 16 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 At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray Had to take care of home at an early age I saw Mama crying, I saw Daddy lying Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind For legacy, if it's the last thing I do You'll remember me 'cause we got something to prove In your memory, on the highway to truth Still see our faces when you close your eyes 16 carriages driving away While I watch them ride with my dreams away
