Cheryl's Goin' Home

                                  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
