Rainbow Road

Lyrics

I was born a poor, poor man All my life I've had hard-workin' hands But I sang a song as I carried my load For I had a dream 'bout a Rainbow Road Then one day a stranger came along He heard me play and sing my song He bought me fine clothes and paid the money I owed And put me on the way to the Rainbow Road But I didn't quite make it to Rainbow Road 'Cause some hard luck came to me And that easy life on Easy Street All ended in tragedy One night, a man with a knife Forced me to take his life Though I pleaded with him desperatеly But the jury showed no mercy whеn they placed the sentence on me Now, I pull along this ball and chain I wear this number for my name My dreams like me have all grown old But still I dream 'bout Rainbow Road Now, I pull along this ball and chain Wear this number for my name My dreams like me have all grown old But still I dream 'bout Rainbow Road I dream about that Rainbow Road Dream about Rainbow Road Dream about that Rainbow Road Dream about
