Cheryl's Goin' Home
BOB LIND
The thunder cracks against the night
The dark explodes with yellow light
The railroad sign is flashing bright
The people stare but I don't care
My flesh is cold against my bones
My Cheryl's going home
Come hear me shout against the rain
Is there a way to stop this train
I got some reasons to explain
About the way I was today
The whistle moans and I'm alone
My Cheryl's going home
Santa Rose Special's down the line
I'm running desperately behind
There's only one thing on my mind
The rain and tears are in my eyes
The things I have to say won't be known
My Cheryl's going home
