Song Description

A man's failure to conform to the norm.

Lyrics

Meant to tell you in the morning I'd be goin' again
But that train came by so fast
I'd been thinkin' that this time maybe I'd find myself
With a memory that's gonna last
Rode that rattler on the way down to Santa Cruz
All I owned was on my back
But my time at Wilder Ranch and the solitude
Didn't gimme the peace I longed to have



Well I've tried my hand at city living just for you
But I never lasted long
'Cause a California bungalow with picket fence
Isn't where this man belongs
I've wandered plains 'n dusty roads that lead to farms 'n creeks
Where you're livin'with The Lord
Well I've ploughed the land and lent a hand at shearing sheep
And yet I'm searchin' for more


Chorus:

Well you can call me a dreamer 'cause I always seem to be
Lookin' for something 'round the bend
Can't find a reason why you stand by me
When I only treat you like a friend
Guess I'm Chasin' Rainbows to the end


Short Solo:



Remember when I thought I could be the King of rodeo
You just smiled and turned away
'N I've lost count of all the times that I promised you the world
'N all you got was my feet of clay
But I can't help this feeling livin' deep inside me
That keeps me movin' through
Another day, another road to another town
And not headin' back home to you

Chorus:

Well you can call me a dreamer 'cause I always seem to be
Lookin' for something 'round the bend
Can't find a reason why you stand by me
When I only treat you like a friend
Guess I'm Chasin' Rainbows to the end
You now I'm Chasin' Rainbows until then.
