Rainbow Rider - Lyrics - Tanya Tucker

Tanya Denise Tucker is an American female country music artist who had her first hit, "Delta Dawn", in 1972 at the age of 13. Over the succeeding decades, Tucker became one of the few child performers to mature into adulthood without losing her audience, and during the course of her career, she notched a streak of Top 10 and Top 40 hits. She has had several successful albums, several Country Music Association award nominations, and hit songs such as 1973's "What's Your Mama's Name?" and "Blood Red and Goin' Down," 1975's "Lizzie and the Rainman," and 1988's "Strong Enough to Bend".

Out of the shoot he sits tall as the timber One hand on the horse and one hand on the sky Eight seconds later he lands in the money And winning's a feeling that money can't buy The kids love a hero and big silver buckles The girls love the dream of a rodeo man He loves the backroads and fields without fences And I guess he loves me because I understand He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider He's hitched up his saddle he's ready to ride He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider A dream chasing cowboy with a rodeo girl by his side Winter in Tuscon and spring in Savanna Reno in June then off to Cheyenne He remembers the fall that he took last September He's hopin' he draws that ol' burr again He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider He's hitched up his saddle he's ready to ride He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider A dream chasing cowboy with a rode girl by his side Lately he's talking about having a son Someone who'll learn from the things that he's done A young bronc bustin' a-buckaroo A trailer behind an old white Eldorado A red western sunset and a blue mountain range Some things in this life he'd like to do over But livin' with him is something I'd never change He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider He's hitched up his saddle he's ready to ride He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider A dream chasing cowboy with a rodeo girl by his side He's a rain-rain-rainbow rider A dream chasing cowboy with a rodeo girl by his side
