Multicolord Lady

Lyrics

Got on a bus in Memphis,  
Destination Rome.  
Georgia ain't no paradise  
But a place I just call home.  
I sat next to a broken hearted bride  
She was cryin', tryin' so hard to hide  
Her selfish sorrow.  
  
I tried to get her talkin'  
She didn't have much to say  
She asked me for a map to death row  
But I didn't know the way  
She had lost a million in the game  
One look out the window at the pine trees and the rain  
It wasn't her day.  
  
Multicolored lady  
You ain't like no rainbow I've ever seen  
Multicolored lady  
Angry red, passion blue, but mostly shades of green  
  
Midnight came and brought more rain,  
Nothing seemed to ease her pain.  
The hours that we talked seemed like minutes all in vein.  
I watched as her tears kept runnin' wide  
Bye and bye and bye, way back after a while  
She started smilin'.  
  
Multicolored lady  
You ain't like no rainbow I've ever known.  
Multicolored lady  
Come go with me, I'll take you to my home  
  
Oh, by the way, I'm bound for Rome.
