Charlie Daniels

Rainbow Ride

I traced my footprints through the sands of yesterday

Back the way I came, I was returning

And then I saw me standing just across the river

Just across the bridge that I'd left burning

It was all reaching out to me

Now my reflection in the water's all I see

(Then it flew away)

Back to the laughing green of summer days

(Flew away)

Back to the chilly, golden autumn haze

(Flew away)

To a place called yesterday

(Yesterday)

Come on in and sit down

It's good to be in your town

We're gonna take you for a rainbow ride

There's no excuse not to relax and get loose

And let us take you for a rainbow ride

It's been a long, hard day

But now it's time to play

'Cause we've got it all planned

We're gonna strike up the band

We're gonna take you for a rainbow ride

When the sunlight finally blossoms way up high

Purple shadows fall across the countryside

We could get together for a rainbow ride

Close your eyes and let it happen

Bright and breezy, nice and easy

Hold on while the music takes you way up high

We can race the moon across the evening sky

See the night time rainbow colors flying by

Close your eyes and let it happen

Rising, falling, gently calling you

Let the evening fly away

While you're dreamin'

Come on, take that rainbow ride with me

Let the evening fly away

While you're dreamin'

Come on, take that rainbow ride with me

Come on, take that rainbow ride with me

Come on, take that rainbow ride with me
