I was born a poor, poor man
All my life I've had hard-workin' hands
But I sang a song as I carried my load
For I had a dream 'bout a Rainbow Road
Then one day a stranger came along
He heard me play and sing my song
He bought me fine clothes and paid the money I owed
And put me on the way to the Rainbow Road
But I didn't quite make it to Rainbow Road
'Cause some hard luck came to me
And that easy life on Easy Street
All ended in tragedy
One night, a man with a knife
Forced me to take his life
Though I pleaded with him desperatеly
But the jury showed no mercy whеn they placed the sentence on me
Now, I pull along this ball and chain
I wear this number for my name
My dreams like me have all grown old
But still I dream 'bout Rainbow Road
Now, I pull along this ball and chain
Wear this number for my name
My dreams like me have all grown old
But still I dream 'bout Rainbow Road
I dream about that Rainbow Road
Dream about Rainbow Road
Dream about that Rainbow Road
Dream about
