Rainbow Road (3:03) (don Fritt And Dan Penn) Lyrics

Rainbow Road (3:03) (don Fritt And Dan Penn) lyrics

I was born a poor poor man

 All my life I had hard workin' hands

 But I sang a song as I carried my load

 Cuz I had a dream about rainbow, rainbow road

 

 Then one day my chance came along

 A man heard me singin' and playing these old songs

 He bought me fine clothes, paid the money I owed

 Started me on my way down rainbow, rainbow road

 

 Then one night a man wiht a knife

 Pushed me till I had to take his life

 Fast as fallin' all my friends were gone

 That old judge traded me a sentence for a song

 

 Just livin' with that ball 'n chain

 Had to wear a number 'for they'd ever call my name

 Like a dream I'm growing old

 But we still sing about rainbow, rainbow read
