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