Beyoncé - 16 CARRIAGES (Lyrics)

I don't get any rights or money for this video, it all comes down to @beyonce Parkwood and her team.

Sorry for the few mistakes, I made them on first listen. The sound is beautiful, you can feel her emotion through it. Beyoncé, you did that again.

Chorus

Sixteen carriages driving 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 driving 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

[Verse 1]
Fifteen the innocence was gone astray
Had to leave my home at an early age
I saw mama praying, I saw daddy grind
All my tender problems, had to leave behind


[Pre-Chorus]
It’s been umpteenth summers and I’m not in my bed
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
Going so hard, gotta choose myself
Undеrpaid and overwhelmed
I might cook, clеan, but still won’t fall
Still working on my life, you know
Only God knows, only God knows, only God knows

[Repeat Chorus]

Sixteen carriages driving 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 driving 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

[Verse 2]
Sixteen dollars, working 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

[Bridge]
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
Going so hard, now I miss my kids
Overworked and overwhelmed
I might cook clean, but still won’t fall
Still working on my life, you know
Only God knows, only God knows, only God knows

[Repeat Chorus]

Sixteen carriages driving 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 driving 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

[Interlude]
Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh

[Bridge]
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
Had to take care of home at an early age
I saw mama crying, I saw daddy lying
Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind
The legacy if it’s the last thing I do
You’ll remember me ’cause we got something to prove
In your memory, on a highway to truth
Still see your faces when you close your eyes

[Outro]
Sixteen carriages driving away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away

[MrFelipeNurck]

The correct sentence at 00:37 is "At fifteen, the innocence was...". I've seen some lyric videos of this song writing that part incorrectly like that. Just a little hint! 😉

I like Bey's R&B and soul, but certainly not her country music. I don't care for it at all but I respect the many who do.

[relebohilemohlathe]

The other day I was listening to daddy lessons and now this😢❤❤❤, oh Giselle 😭😭💓💓

[kelitadavis]

this song sounds like its about her career over the years

[dry_critical]

what is the meaning of "carrige" in this song?

[Josedokarmo]

Thank you for you service dear beyhive!❤

[maiconrogerio]

É FEARS AWAY E NÃO "DREAMS AWAY" NO PRIMEIRO REFRÃO

[lemony]

Underpaid, overworked and overwhelmed 😢
