(G)Last night we rode our (C)broncs in (G)Seattle,
me and Bill packed the (C)car in the pourin' (D)rain.
(G)Witch and John were at the (C)beer stand, gettin' (G)sprattled (C)
but we (G)got 'em gathered and (D)hit the road (G)again.

Chewin' sneuss and spittin' in a bottle.
Country music blastin' on the radio.
Talkin' girls and broncs and gold belt buckles.
Rollin' south to a California rodeo.

Chorus
Just (C)rollin' down that (D)great American (G)highway,
with the (C)mornin' sky (G)lit up like a (D)flame.
(G)Chasin' dreams and (C)followin' a (G)rainbow (C)
(G)Like children (D)runnin' through the (G)rain.

Well it's rodeo time in Oakdale, California.
And we stumble with the trash out of the car.
And ole Bill looks at me through whiskers and wild, red eyeballs,
And says, we look more like hobo's than big-time rodeo stars.

Well we ride our broncs and we all win a little money.
And there's Witch over at the beer stand again, but look, 
he's got his arm around a little California honey.
An' Bill says...I wonder if that lady there's got any friends.

Chorus

Well, the years went by and now we've all got families.
Ah, but we still get together every now and then,
And we talk about all the bad broncs and good times.
Lord, somtimes I wish I was back on that road again...

Chorus
Just chasin dreams and followin' a rainbow...
Like crazy children runnin' through the rain...
