Got on a bus in Memphis Destination Rome Georgia ain't no paradise But a place I just call home I sat next to a broken hearted bride She was cryin', tryin' so hard to hide Her selfish sorrow ♪ I tried to get her talkin' She didn't have much to say She asked me for a map to death row But I didn't know the way She had lost a million in the game One look out the window At the pine trees and the rain It wasn't her day ♪ Multicolored lady You ain't like no rainbow I've ever seen Multicolored lady Angry red, passion blue But mostly shades of green ♪ Midnight came and brought more rain Nothing seemed to ease her pain The hours that we talked Seemed like minutes all in vane I watched As her tears kept runnin' wide Bye and bye and bye, way back after a while She started smilin' ♪ Multicolored lady You ain't like no rainbow I've ever known ♪ Multicolored lady Come go with me, I'll take you to my home Oh, by the way, I'm bound for Rome
