The thunder cracks against the night
The dark explodes with yellow light
The railroad sign is flashing bright
People stare but I not care
My flesh is cold against my bone
And Cheryl's going home
Come hear me shouting in the rain
Is there a way to stop the train
I've got some reasons to explain about things I did today
The whistles blows and I'm alone
And Cheryl's going home

SOLO

Santa Rosa special down the line
I'm running desperately behind
There's only one thing on my mind
The rain and tears are in my eyes
Things I had to say when I'm alone
And Cheryl's going home
