Cheryl's Goin' Home Lyrics

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
My Cheryl's going home

Come hear me shout against 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
My Cheryl's going home

Santa Rose Special's 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 won't be known
My Cheryl's going home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
