Rainbow Road - Percy Sledge

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
