Where Rainbows Never Die

[Verse 1]

I'm an old man now, I can't do nothing

Young folks don't pay me no mind

But in my day I sure was something

Before I felt the heavy hand of time

[Verse 2]

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

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

[Verse 3]

I've got one last thing to do

One more mile before I'm through

Casting off these earthly chains

Going 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

[Outro]

I'm an old man now, can't do nothing

Young folks don't pay me no mind
