Retrophonics - Chasing Rainbows. 2016
from Reinjohn Hosted by Reinjohn
The song is about getting older and wiser Chasing the Rainbow. Roaring down the motorway a castaway in a Chevrolet burning painful history Left-it-all-behind and now I'm free Home is not my place to stay It-took-me-long-enough to get away Horizon shines with tempting light I'm swallowed-up by the crimson night 'scaping the drag of that awful grind becoming a man of a different kind, o yeah, o yeah Time went by, I settled down but the tramp in me just stayed around and once more I am breaking free from boredom and monotony I'm heading for the greener grass for a bit of fun and a willing lass running away from rules again a restless bum without a plan The road's my home, my sanctuary Wanna move along and wanna be free, o yeah, o yeah And now that I am old and grey no longer fit to flee away My mind, at last, has come to rest The final verdict: home is best Gaining-insight due to my old age that the world looks like a wannabee stage That the best things here on earth are free like love and hope and fantasy that chasing rainbows endlessly never gave real joy, nor happiness to me
