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

And 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

And 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 will not be known

And Cheryl's going home

And Cheryl's going home

Oh, Cheryl's going home

Cheryl's going home
