Country Rock - Edwyn Collins

The thunder cracks against the night

The dark explodes with yellow light

The railroad sign is flashin' bright

The people stare but I don’t care

My flesh is cold against my bones

And Cheryl’s goin' 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 goin' home

Santa Rose Special’s down the line

I’m runnin' desperately behind

There’s only one thing on my mind

The rain and tears are in my eyes

The things I have to say won’t be known

And Cheryl’s goin' home

And Cheryl’s goin' home

Oh, Cheryl’s goin' home, Cheryl’s goin' home
