    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

Sixteen carriages drivin' away

🎸 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

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

On a long back road, all the tears I fight

    G         G
Sixteen carriages drivin' away

🎸 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:

Goin' so hard, now I miss my kids
G       G
Overworked and overwhelmed
    C         C
I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold

Still workin' all my life, you know

Only God knows, only God knows
        C
Only God knows

🎸 Bridge:

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


🎸 Outro:

G         G
Sixteen carriages drivin' away

While I watch them ride with my dreams away
