Cheryl's Goin' Home - Sonny Bono

The thunder cracks against the night

The dark explodes with yellow light

Tha 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 shouting through the rain

Is there a way to stop the train

I’ve got some reasons to explain

About the way I was today

The whistle moans and I’m alone

And Cheryl’s going home

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

The things I have to say will not be known

And Cheryl’s going home
