Charlie Daniels Band, The - Rainbow Ride Lyrics
I traced my footprints through the sands of yesterday
Back the way I came, I was returning
And then I saw me standing just across the river
Just across the bridge that I'd left burning
Now my reflection in the water's all I see
(Then it flew away)
Back to the laughing green of summer days
(Flew away)
Back to the chilly, golden autumn haze
(Flew away)
To a place called yesterday
(Yesterday)
It's good to be in your town
We're gonna take you for a rainbow ride
There's no excuse not to relax and get loose
And let us take you for a rainbow ride
It's been a long, hard day
But now it's time to play
'Cause we've got it all planned
We're gonna strike up the band
We're gonna take you for a rainbow ride
When the sunlight finally blossoms way up high
Purple shadows fall across the countryside
We could get together for a rainbow ride
Close your eyes and let it happen
Bright and breezy, nice and easy
Hold on while the music takes you way up high
We can race the moon across the evening sky
See the night time rainbow colors flying by
Close your eyes and let it happen
Rising, falling, gently calling you
Let the evening fly away
While you're dreamin'
Come on, take that rainbow ride with me
Let the evening fly away
While you're dreamin'
Come on, take that rainbow ride with me
Come on, take that rainbow ride with me
Come on, take that rainbow ride with me

Charlie Daniels Band, The Rainbow Ride Comments
I don't know if Charlie listened to Frank Zappa at all, but I can definitely hear some FZ in this in the 2nd half.
Yes this Album is! as great work. one of hid best!
The entire album was an absolute masterpiece and this song is a bright shining example of why I say that!!!!
I used to have this on 45 b side great song
Hi guys check out my Chanel I'm a gamer
This fucken songs rocks!!
In june 1979, i listened to this album on the highway from st louis to kansas city with my parents and sister. Had this on headphones the whole way, a great memory
Got the cruise on my Kenworth set at 70, cruising north on I-45 somewhere between Houston and Dallas 10:30 at night, CDB cranked up and not a care in world
I still do a double take when I hear people refer to CD as a "country" singer. I guess he qualifies as one but I've always thought of CDB as a Southern Rock band, in the same vein as Lynyrd Skynyrd.
From about age 10-17 I used to do whitewater rafting on the Ocoee and Nantahala rivers in NC. I always thought of this song, particularly the second half where the tempo picks up, while riding the rapids.
Great band. Very talented.
Had this on my head phones, (walkman cassette) while we were shelling the Iranians in about 83
This is the best song I ever herd I love rainbow ride I had a headache today this song relaxed me best song 😉😆
One of my fave CDB songs! Love the, 'Allman Brothers-Marshall-Tucker-Progressive-Rock-Jazz ' feel here!
maybe my favorite song by Charlie. I got to meet the man. he was a nice guy. I shook his hand and he autographed "million mile reflections" cd for me. he really plays well to be 78 years old
What an awesome song. Written to answer all the critics of southern country rock. Attempting to prove that they can play an write complex stuff as well as any other genre including Metal and Prog. While I am still a die hard prog fan this song proves their point without any doubt.
So very cool..thanks
This is a really cool song to listen to while driving the Blue Ridge Parkway in the early morning/late evening.
More great music from a truly great band. Major Southern Rock/Fusion. CDB.
the c.d.b. rocks
