[Intro]A[Refrão]E
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
E
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
A
To the summer sunset on a holy night
A
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
E
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
E
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
A
To the summer sunset on a holy night
A
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
[Primeira Parte]E
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
E
Had to leave my home at an early age
A
I saw Mama prayin', I saw Daddy grind
A
All my tender problems, had to leave behind
[Pré-Refrão]E
It's been umpteen summers, and I'm not in my bed
E
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
E
Goin' so hard, gotta choose myself
E
Undеrpaid and overwhelmed
A
I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold
A
Still workin' all my life, you know
A
Only God knows, only God knows
A
Only God knows
[Refrão]E
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
E
While I watch them ride with my fears away
A
To the summer sunset on a holy night
A
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
E
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
E
While I watch them ride with my fears away
A
To the summer sunset on a holy night
A
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
( C )
[Segunda Parte]E
Sixteen dollars, workin' all day
E
Ain't got time to waste, I got art to make
A
I got love to create on this holy night
A
They won't dim my light, all these years I fight
[Pré-Refrão]E
It's been thirty-eight summers, and I'm not in my bed
E
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
E
Goin' so hard, now I miss my kids
E
Overworked and overwhelmed
A
I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold
A
Still workin' all my life, you know
A
Only God knows, only God knows
A
Only God knows

At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
E
Had to take care of home at an early age
A
I saw Mama cryin', I saw Daddy lyin'
A
Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind
F#m
The legacy, if it's the last thing I do
D
You'll remember me 'cause we got somethin' to prove
DC#m
In your memory, on a highway to truth
EA
Still see your faces when you close your eyes
