Rainbow Road Lyrics - Joan Baez

I was born a poor poor man 

All my life I had hard workin' 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 wiht 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Just livin' with that ball 'n chain 

Had to wear a number 'for they'd ever call my name 

Like a dream I'm growing old 

But we still sing about rainbow, rainbow read
