 Sixteen carriages drivin' 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
 Sixteen carriages drivin' 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
 At fifteen the innocence was gone astray
 Had to leave my home at an early age
 I saw Mama prayin' I saw Daddy grind
 All my tender problems had to leave behind
 It's been umpteenth summers and I'm not in my bed
 On the back of the bus and a bunk with the band
 Goin' so hard gotta choose myself
 Under paid and overwhelmed
 I might cook clean but still won't fold
 Still workin' on my life you know
 Only God knows only God knows
 Only God knows
 Sixteen carriages drivin' 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
 Sixteen carriages drivin' 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

 Sixteen dollars workin' 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 and a bunk with the band
 Goin' so hard now I miss my kids
 Overworked and overwhelmed
 I might cook clean but still won't fold
 Still workin' on my life you know
 Only God knows only God knows
 Only God knows
 Sixteen 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
 Sixteen 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

 Oh oh

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

 Sixteen carriages drivin' away
 While I watch them ride with my dreams away
