Chorus:

    A augmentedA         A augmentedA
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
          A augmentedA           A augmentedA
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
         D MajorD       D MajorD
To the summer sunset on a holy night
        D MajorD            D MajorD
On a long back road, all the tears I fight

Verse 1:

        A augmentedA          A augmentedA
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray

Had to leave my home at an early age
      D MajorD           D MajorD
I saw Mama prayin', I saw Daddy grind

All my tender problems, had to leave behind

    A augmentedA           A augmentedA
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band

Goin' so hard, gotta choose myself
A augmentedA       A augmentedA
Undеrpaid and overwhelmed

I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold
D MajorD           D MajorD
Still workin' all my life, you know

Only God knows, only God knows
        D MajorD
Only God knows

    A augmentedA           A augmentedA
Sixteen dollars, workin' all day
         A augmentedA          A augmentedA
Ain't got time to waste, I got art to make
       D MajorD          D MajorD
I got love to create on this holy night

They won't dim my light, all these years I fight

Overworked and overwhelmed

Still workin' all my life, you know

At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray

You'll remember me 'cause we got somethin' to prove
    D MajorD            D MajorD
In your memory, on a highway to truth
        D MajorD             D MajorD
Still see your faces when you close your eyes
