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 till 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
tag:
Rainbow road, Rainbow road
Rainbow road, Rainbow road
Rainbow road, Rainbow roadHe was the one for me
He made me feel alright
Now everything's gone wrong
We where so tight
He ain't the one
So just move on
It's time that you let it go
How can I now forget him
He's the only one
Bridge
Don't; don't waste your time
(Don't you waste your time)
There's a good thing waiting for you down the line
(Down the line)
Don't, don't waste your time
(Don't you waste your time)
As soon as you get over him your life will truly shine
(Truly shine)
Chorus
Just let it go
There's a good thing waiting for you
Don't you know (Don't you know yeah)
Just let it go
As soon as you get over him you'll find the sweetest friend, oh
"Wait, wait wait
Wait I just..."
How can I let him go
When he means so much to me
You think I'm blind
You think it's time
I can't get him off my mind
He ain't the one for you
Girl it's time you let him go
I think you're right
He needs to go
He is not the one for me, yeah
Bridge
Don't; don't waste your time
(Don't you waste your time)
There's a good thing waiting for you down the line
(Down the line)
Don't; don't waste your time
(Don't you waste your time)
As soon as you get over him your life will truly shine
(Truly shine)
Chorus
Just let it go (I can't let it go)
There's a good thing waiting for you
Don't you know (Don't you know oh)
Just let it go (Hard to let it go)
As soon as you get over him you'll find the sweetest friend (Find my rainbow,
yeah)
When you've found the one that's meant for you
Then you'll realise
That it's just a phase you're going through
Everybody has their bad times
Chorus
Just let it go
There's a good thing waiting for you
Don't you know
Just let it go (Hard to let it go)
As soon as you get over him you'll find the sweetest friend (Find my rainbow)
Chorus
Just let it go (I can't let it go)
