Rainbow Road

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

Cuz I had a dream about rainbow rainbow road

Then one day my chance came along

A man heard me singing and playing my songs

He bought me fine clothes paid the money I owed

Send 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

Now as I poor just livin' with ball 'n chain

Wearing a number for my name

My name's like me I'm growing old

But I still remember about the rainbow rainbow road

Rainbow road rainbow road

I still remember about rainbow road
