Rainbow Road

Lyrics

I was born a dirt poor man  
All my life I've had hard working hands  
But I sang my song as I carried my load  
'Cause I had a dream about rainbow  
Rainbow road  
  
Then one day a man came along  
Heard me playing and singing my songs  
He bought me clothes and paid up every debt I owed  
Sent me on my way down rainbow  
Rainbow road  
  
Then one night a man with a knife  
Pushed me 'til I had to take his life  
Fast as falling all my friends were gone  
That old judge traded me a sentence for a song  
  
Now I'm living with this ball and chain  
I had to wear a number before they ever heard my name  
And like the dream I'm growing old  
But we still sing about rainbow  
Rainbow road  
  
Rainbow road, Rainbow road [Repeat x 2]
