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 through 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

Cheryl rode a 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
And Cheryl's going home

Oh Cheryl's going home
And Cheryl's going home.....
