Cruising down ol’ Highway 51
Just outside of Stillwater about to get my fix
Looking for a good time is a temporary smile
Living life on the road chasing all that I can chase
I chased big paychecks with a shot of whiskey
Whiskey shots with one night stands
The money would burn a hole in my pocket
The whiskey burned up all my plans
The women only helped to fuel the flames
I had no thoughts of tomorrow
Just going where the wind blows
I was out chasing rainbows in the rain
Driving past the county line
I’ve worn out every backwoods road
Burned out all the neon lights
I feel the winds changing
It’s time to stop chasing after foolish things
I chased big paychecks with a shot of whiskey
Whiskey shots with one night stands
The money would burn a hole in my pocket
The whiskey burned up all my plans
The women only helped to fuel the flames
I had no thoughts of tomorrow
Just going where the wind blows
I was out chasing rainbows in the rain
When you’re out in the middle of a hurricane
And you just can’t seem to find your way
The only thing left to do is get down and pray
By God’s grace you see an angels face
And you know it’s time for you to change your ways
You can’t keep chasing fools gold and go wherever the wind blows
There ain’t no catching rainbows in the rain
