歌词
I got on a bus in Memphis
Destination Rome
♪
Georgia ain't no paradise
A place I could 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'
Oh, she didn't have much to say
Asked me for a map to death row
Oh, I didn't know the way
She lost a million tears today
One look out my window
At the pine trees and the rain
It was not her day
♪
Multi-colored lady
You ain't like no rainbow I've ever seen
♪
Multi-colored lady
Angry red, passion blue
But mostly shades of green
Yeah, yeah, yeah
♪
Midnight came, brought some rain
Oh, but nothing seemed to ease her pain
Hours that we talk seem like minutes
Seemed like minutes, all in vain
I see these tears keep runnin' wide
By and by, bye my lady goodbye
She shared a smile with me
♪
Multi-colored lady
You ain't like no rainbow that I've ever seen
♪
Multi-colored lady
Oh, come go with me
And I'll take you, ooh, to my home
♪
And by the way, I'm bound to Rome
