Rainbow Road by Bill Brandon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born a poor, poor man
All my life I had hard working hands
But I sing my song as I carry my load
'Cause I had a dream about rainbow, rainbow road

[Verse 2]
And then one day my chance came along
A man heard me singing, and played my song
He bought me fine clothes, and paid the money I owed
Sent me on my way to rainbow, rainbow road

[Verse 3]
And then one night a man with a knife
Forced me to take his life
Though I pleaded with him so desperately
The judge showed no mercy
When he passed his sentence on me

[Verse 4]
Now, as I pull this ball and chain
Wearing this number for my name
My dreams, like me, have all grown old
But I still dream about, about rainbow, rainbow road
Rainbow road, I still dream about rainbow road
Rainbow road...
