RAINBOWS
DESERT OAKS SILENT ENDLESS AFTERNOON SUN
RED CHOKING DUST WHERE THE RAIN DIDN'T COME
STINKING HOT, BITING COLD, THUNDERSTORMS THEN DRY
COOL WHITE RIVER GUMS, STAR FILLED NIGHTS
MEN WHO GAVE THEIR HEARTS TO WOMEN NOW WORKING ON THE PLAIN
THEIR KIDS ARE IN THEIR MINDS, SOMETIMES EVERY NIGHT AND DAY
OLD ADDERS THEY JUST SIT AND STARE NOW DRINK TO EASE THE PAIN
KNOWING IF THEY HAD A SECOND CHANCE THEY'D PROBABLY DO THE
SAME

I'VE LOVED YOU ALL MY LIFE TAKEN YOU WHERE I’VE BEEN
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST AND MOST PLACES IN BETWEEN
I CAN'T BE THERE WITH YOU BUT I CAN BE YOUR FRIEND
I GIVE YOU MEMORIES, I GIVE YOU WHAT I AM
I'M A DRIFTER, I’M A DREAMER I GET DRUNK WHEN I GET DOWN
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT I HAVEN’T YET FOUND
I’LL BE OUT HERE SOMEWHERE AND I’LL MORE THAN LIKELY BE
STONEY MOTHERLESS BROKE YECKADEE YECKADEE

I’LL BE OUT HERE SOMEWHERE CHASING RAINBOWS
RUNNING FROM WHAT ONLY THE WIND KNOWS
WELL I’VE GOT ONE BY THE TAIL NOW
AND I’M NOT LETTING GO
AND IF I FIND MY PEACE YOU’LL BE FIRST TO KNOW

I HOPE ONE DAY YOU'LL UNDERSTAND ME, RUNNING AWAY
I COULDN’T TAKE YOU WITH ME AND I SURE COULDN’T STAY
MAYBE WE WON'T MEET AGAIN, ME BEING LIKE I AM
BUT THEN AGAIN MAYBE WE MIGHT SO UNTIL THEN

I'LL BE OUT HERE SOMEWHERE CHASING RAINBOWS
RUNNING FROM WHAT ONLY THE WIND KNOWS
WELL I’VE GOT ONE BY THE TAIL NOW
AND I'M NOT LETTING GO
AND IF I EVER FIND MY PEACE YOU’LL BE FIRST TO KNOW
