Rainbow Road

I was born a poor, poor man
All my life I had hard-workin' hands
But I sang my song as I carried my load
'Cause I had a dream about a Rainbow, Rainbow Road
Then one day, my chance came along
A man heard me singin' and playin' my song
He bought me fine clothes and paid the money I owed
Send me on my way to Rainbow, Rainbow Road
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 the sentence on for m
Now, as I pull this ball and chain
Wearing this number for my name
My drams like me have all grown old
But I still remember about Rainbow, Rainbow Road
Rainbow Road, Rainbow Road
I still dream about Rainbow Road
