Rainbow

Well I left my home at the north end of Florida

Headed out for southern California

Lookin' for some fun like any other

And the open skies

Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana

Even past right through Texarkana

Lord I know that time is truly wastin'

Not getting any younger

I'm runnin' round here, and I'm looking for a pot of gold

They tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow

See the movie star up in the spotlight. She's growing old

And they tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow

Well I fell in love with a girl out in Texas

Then her daddy had me arrested

All I did was stop for some dancin', and a couple of beers

Then they ran my butt on into Arizona

Heard I was wanted out in Oklahoma

Made me feel like I was an outlaw

It might've been my long hair

I'm runnin' round here, I'm looking for that pot of gold

And they tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow

See the guitar man up in the spotlight, he's growing old

They tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow

And they left me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow

Now I'm sittin' out here I'm lonely in Nebraska

How the hell'd I get to Alaska

Would of thought by now I'd learn my lesson

But you can never tell

I'm runnin' round here, still looking for a pot of gold

And they tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow

I see the mileage on my face, am I growing old

And they tell me that it sits at the end of an old rainbow
