letra de 16 carriages - beyoncé
[chorus]
sixteen carriages drivin’ away
while i watch them ride with my dreams away
to the summer sunset on a holy night
on a long back road, all the tears i fight
sixteen carriages drivin’ away
while i watch them ride with my dreams away
to the summer sunset on a holy night
on a long black road, all the tears i fight
[verse 1]
at fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
had to leave my home at an early age
i saw mama prayin’, i saw daddy grind
all my tender problems, had to leave behind
[pre-chorus]
it’s been umpteen summers, and i’m not in my bed
on the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
goin’ so hard, gotta choose myself
undеrpaid and overwhelmed
i might cook, clеan, but still won’t fold
still workin’ all my life, you know
only god knows, only god knows
only god knows
[chorus]
sixteen carriages drivin’ away
while i watch them ride with my fears away
to the summer sunset on a holy night
on a long back road, all the tears i fight
sixteen carriages drivin’ away
while i watch them ride with my fears away
to the summer sunset on a holy night
on a long back road, all the tears i fight
[verse 2]
sixteen dollars, workin’ all day
ain’t got time to waste, i got art to make
i got love to create on this holy night
they won’t dim my light, all these years i fight
[pre-chorus]
it’s been thirty-eight summers, and i’m not in my bed
on the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
goin’ so hard, now i miss my kids
overworked and overwhelmed
i might cook, clean, but still won’t fold
still workin’ all my life, you know
only god knows, only god knows
only god knows
[chorus]
sixteen carriages driving away
while i watch them ride with my fears away
to the summer sunset on a holy night
on a long back road, all the tears i fight
sixteen carriages driving away
while i watch them ride with my fears away
to the summer sunset on a holy night
on a long back road, all these tears i fight
[post-chorus]
oh, oh
oh
[bridge]
at fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
had to take care of home at an early age
i saw mama cryin’, i saw daddy lyin’
had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind
for legacy, if it’s the last thing i do
you’ll remember me ’cause we got somethin’ to prove
in your memory, on a highway to truth
still see your faces when you close your eyes
[outro]
sixteen carriages drivin’ away
while i watch them ride with my dreams away
