Mahalia Jackson - There Is No Color Line Around The Rainbow Lyrics

Daddy won a radio
He tuned it to a country show
I was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar
Mama used to sing to me
She taught me that sweet harmony
Now she worries cause she never thought
I'd really ever take it this far
Singin� in the bars
CHORUS:
And chasin� that neon rainbow
Livin� that honky tonk dream
Cause all I've ever wanted
Is to pick this guitar and sing
It's time to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and sing
I'm chasin� that neon rainbow
Livin� that honky tonk dream
And it was at a coffee cup
Five pickers and an old Dodge truck
Headin� down to Houston for a show on Saturday night
This overhead is killing me
Half the time I sing for free
When the crowd�s into it, lord,
It makes this thing I'm doing seem right
Standing in the spotlight
CHORUS
Now daddy�s got a radio
He won it thirty years ago
He said; son I just know
We're gonna hear you singin� on it some day
I made it up to music row
Lordy, don't the wheels turn slow
Still I wouldn't trade a minute
I wouldn't have it any other way
Just show me to the stage
CHORUS
