Second​-​Rate Rainbow

from Slugger by Dave Keener

/

lyrics

(Sometimes I think)
We’re looking for a pot of gold at the end of a second-rate rainbow
Other times I feel
There’s more joy in just one hour of me and you sitting and talking
Than this little heart can hold

Sometimes I want to tell the world how much I hate it’s cruel, cruel ways
And other times I want sit on the stoop and let it make my day

We did our best how we pressed our nose to the good life grindstone
Till it rolled away
Have no fear, there’s cheap beer and so much good life coming
It’ll make you sick

Sometimes I want to ride my bike on the sidewalk, watch those good folks run
Lord let me stay in the lane of the righteous, I don’t want to hit any one

We built a dream house, every dream house has to wake up someday
It was a good dream
We’re still here, birds still sing
I just want to believe they’re singing, not just making noise

Sometimes I want to tell the world how much I hate it’s cruel, cruel ways
And other times I want sit on the stoop and let it make my day

Let’s bet it all on a horse that runs as fast as we can
Give up on a dream
Weren’t we fools looking for the end of a second-rate rainbow
When gold is everywhere
