The Charlie Daniels Band - Rainbow Ride lyrics

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
