Standard (EADGBE)

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
