Edwyn Collins - Country Rock lyrics

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
