Lyrics Chasin' a Rainbow - Hank Snow

Chasin' a Rainbow

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
