[00:07.638]Sixteen carriages drivin' away
[00:10.816]While I watch them ride with my dreams away
[00:14.854]To the summer sunset on a holy night
[00:18.256]On a long back road, all the tears I fight
[00:22.593]Sixteen carriages drivin' away
[00:25.841]While I watch them ride with my dreams away
[00:29.726]To the summer sunset on a holy night
[00:33.414]On a long back road, all the tears I fight
[00:37.438]
[00:37.690]At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
[00:41.258]Had to leave my home at an early age
[00:44.802]I saw Mama prayin', I saw Daddy grind
[00:48.558]All my tender problems, had to leave behind
[00:52.147]
[00:52.432]It's been umpteenth summers, and I'm not in my bed
[00:54.482]On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
[00:56.426]Goin' so hard, gotta choose myself
[00:58.229]Underpaid and overwhelmed
[01:00.293]I might cook, clean, but still won't fold
[01:02.127]Still workin' on my life, you know
[01:04.046]Only God knows, only God knows
[01:06.126]Only God knows
[01:07.712]
[01:08.083]Sixteen carriages drivin' away
[01:11.371]While I watch them ride with my fears away
[01:15.132]To the summer sunset on a holy night
[01:18.693]On a long back road, all the tears I fight
[01:22.582]Sixteen carriages drivin' away
[01:26.523]While I watch them ride with my fears away
[01:30.249]To the summer sunset on a holy night
[01:34.280]On a long back road, all the tears I fight
[01:41.115]
[01:45.787]Sixteen dollars, workin' all day
[01:49.444]Ain't got time to waste, I got art to make
[01:52.937]I got love to create on this holy night
[01:56.451]They won't dim my light, all these years I fight
[02:00.398]
[02:00.507]It's been thirty-eight summers, and I'm not in my bed
[02:02.544]On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
[02:04.292]Goin' so hard, now I miss my kids
[02:06.190]Overworked and overwhelmed
[02:08.218]I might cook, clean, but still won't fold
[02:10.149]Still workin' on my life, you know
[02:12.068]Only God knows, only God knows
[02:14.181]Only God knows

[02:15.893]Sixteen carriages driving away
[02:19.276]While I watch them ride with my fears away

[03:01.448]At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
[03:04.634]Had to take care of home at an early age
[03:08.325]I saw Mama cryin', I saw Daddy lyin'
[03:12.427]Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind
[03:16.041]The legacy is the last thing I do
[03:19.958]You'll remember me 'cause we got somethin' to prove
[03:23.438]In your memory, on a highway to truth
[03:27.175]Still see your faces when you close your eyes
[03:33.976]
[03:39.112]Sixteen carriages drivin' away
[03:42.552]While I watch them ride with my dreams away
