Rainbow Road Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

I was born a dirt poor man 

All my life I've had hard working hands 

But I sang my song as I carried my load 

'Cause I had a dream about rainbow 

Rainbow road 

Then one day a man came along 

Heard me playing and singing my songs 

He bought me clothes and paid up every debt I owed 

Sent me on my way down rainbow 

Rainbow road

Then one night a man with a knife 

Pushed me 'til I had to take his life 

Fast as falling all my friends were gone 

That old judge traded me a sentence for a song

Now I'm living with this ball and chain 

I had to wear a number before they ever heard my name 

And like the dream I'm growing old 

But we still sing about rainbow 

Rainbow road 

Rainbow road, Rainbow road [Repeat x 2]
