Lyrics The Rainbow Song - David Gates

The Rainbow Song

Fresh out of high school, diploma in hand
Ain’t much you ain’t seen and don’t understand
Ain’t going steady, she’s ripe and ready
It’s all so heady, this graduation
Two years later she’s walking the floor
She loves her baby but she don’t want no more
She’s met the crisis, lost paradises
World’s not as nice as she thought that it would be
Don’t you worry things will work out for the best
You just watch out for yourself don’t worry about the rest
Even though you watched your rainbow fade away
It almost always means a brighter one is gonna come someday
Fresh out of college, he’s got his degree
He’s educated, success guaranteed
No job is waiting, it’s aggravating
He’s turned to painting apartment houses
He paints the landlord’s, and she’s right above
She meets the painter they fall into love
They move to 'Frisco, opened up a Disco
Now see, it just goes to show you what I mean
So don’t you worry things will work out for the best
Live each day like it’s your last don’t worry about the rest
If you’re too far down just play the «Rainbow Song»
It’s not too hard to find a groove, get back and just sing along
