Where Rainbows Never Die

[Verse 1]

I'm an old man now, I can't do nothin'

Young folks don't pay me no mind

But, in my day, I sure was somethin'

Before I felt the heavy hands of time, mm

[Verse 2]

I'm an old man now, I'm bound for glory

It's time to lay these burdens down

Had enough of this old world of worry

Gonna trade my troubles for a crown

[Chorus]

I will make my way across the fields of cotton

And wade through muddy waters one last time

And, in my dreams, I come out clean

When I reach the other side, west of where the sun sets

Where rainbows never die

[Bridge]

I've got one last thing to do

One more mile before I'm through

Castin' off these earthly chains

Goin' where there's no more pain

[Chorus]

I will make my way across the fields of cotton

And wade through muddy waters one last time

And, in my dreams, I come out clean

When I reach the other side, west of where the sun sets

Where rainbows never die, mm

[Outro]

I'm an old man now, I can't do nothin'

Young folks don't pay me no mind
