[Intro]
C
[Chorus]
G G Sixteen carriages drivin' away G G While I watch them ride with my dreams away C C To the summer sunset on a holy night C C On a long back road, all the tears I fight G G Sixteen carriages drivin' away G G While I watch them ride with my dreams away C C To the summer sunset on a holy night C C On a long back road, all the tears I fight
[Verse 1]
G G At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray G G Had to leave my home at an early age C C I saw Mama prayin', I saw Daddy grind C C All my tender problems, had to leave behind
[Pre-Chorus]
G G It's been umpteen summers, and I'm not in my bed G G On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band G G Goin' so hard, gotta choose myself G G Undеrpaid and overwhelmed C C I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold C C Still workin' all my life, you know C C Only God knows, only God knows C Only God knows
[Chorus]
G G Sixteen carriages drivin' away G G While I watch them ride with my fears away C C To the summer sunset on a holy night C C On a long back road, all the tears I fight G G Sixteen carriages drivin' away G G While I watch them ride with my fears away C C To the summer sunset on a holy night C C On a long back road, all the tears I fight
[Instrumental]
C
[Verse 2]
G G Sixteen dollars, workin' all day G G Ain't got time to waste, I got art to make C C I got love to create on this holy night C C They won't dim my light, all these years I fight
[Pre-Chorus]
G G It's been thirty-eight summers, and I'm not in my bed G G On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band G G Goin' so hard, now I miss my kids G G Overworked and overwhelmed C C I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold C C Still workin' all my life, you know C C Only God knows, only God knows C Only God knows
[Chorus]
G G Sixteen carriages drivin' away G G While I watch them ride with my fears away C C To the summer sunset on a holy night C C On a long back road, all the tears I fight G G Sixteen carriages drivin' away G G While I watch them ride with my fears away C C To the summer sunset on a holy night C C On a long back road, all the tears I fight
[Post-Chorus]
G F Em Oh, oh C Em G Oh, Oh
[Bridge]
G G At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray G G Had to take care of home at an early age C C I saw Mama cryin', I saw Daddy lyin' C C Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind Am Am The legacy, if it's the last thing I do F F You'll remember me 'cause we got somethin' to prove F Em In your memory, on a highway to truth G C Still see your faces when you close your eyes
[Outro]
