Chasin' a Rainbow - Hank Snow

Rain starts to fall and the sun fades away

Memories start calling, another new day

It’s hard to keep tryin' to reach for a star

With no-one beside me but my old guitar

But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry

Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die

Just thinkin' over the years of my life

My many proud moments, my struggles and strife

The days of good fortune, when a good gal was mine

How foolish of me to have left her behind

But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry

Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die

My mind keeps a-wonderin' for things in my past

The money I made, but I couldn’t make last

The vows that I’ve broken, the lies that I’ve told

Mistakes that I’ve made in my quest for life’s gold

But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry

Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die

Now often I think of the things I have missed

All the girls that I knew that I never kissed

All the dares that were offered and never did try

Lost many good memories how foolish was I

But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry

Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die

The prairies and mountains, I’ve left them behind

I’m addin' the mileage to this life of mine

From old California to the cold eastern sea

Then back through the southland to old Tennessee

But I gotta keep movin', no time to cry

Chasin' a rainbow 'til the day that I die
