| Rain starts to fall and the sun fades away
|
| Memories start calling, another new day
|
| It’s hard to keep tryin' to reach for a star
|
| With no-one beside me but my old guitar
|
| But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry
|
| Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die
|
| Just thinkin' over the years of my life
|
| My many proud moments, my struggles and strife
|
| The days of good fortune, when a good gal was mine
|
| How foolish of me to have left her behind
|
| But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry
|
| Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die
|
| My mind keeps a-wonderin' for things in my past
|
| The money I made, but I couldn’t make last
|
| The vows that I’ve broken, the lies that I’ve told
|
| Mistakes that I’ve made in my quest for life’s gold
|
| But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry
|
| Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die
|
| Now often I think of the things I have missed
|
| All the girls that I knew that I never kissed
|
| All the dares that were offered and never did try
|
| Lost many good memories how foolish was I
|
| But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry
|
| Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die
|
| The prairies and mountains, I’ve left them behind
|
| I’m addin' the mileage to this life of mine
|
| From old California to the cold eastern sea
|
| Then back through the southland to old Tennessee
|
| But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry
|
| Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die |
