Lyrics of Rainbow road

I was born a poor, poor man
All my life i had hardworkin' hands
But i sang a song as i carried my load
'cuz i had a dream about rainbow

Rainbow road

Then one day, my chance came along
A man heard me singin' and playing these old songs
He bought me fine clothes, paid the money i owed
Started me on my way down rainbow

Rainbow road

Then one night, a man with a knife
Pushed me till i had to take his life
Fast as fallin', all my friends were gone
That old judge traded me a sentence for a song

Just livin' with this ball n' chain
Had to wear a number for they never call my name
Like a dream, i'm growin' old
But we still sing about rainbow

Rainbow road

Rainbow road
Rainbow road
Rainbow road
