Reaching Out for Rainbows (Live version)

from My Dad's Songs by Michael Averill

/

lyrics

I never knew a single place I'd like to call my own
I never found a foot of ground I'd sell my soul to own
Moved myself so many times, never made a friend
And now's the time it looks like I'm bound for the road again

And I'll be packing up and pitching out all the things that I've outgrown
Pushing off for places I've not been
Herdin' another U-Haul down the highway
Reaching out for rainbows once again

I heard those lines bout leaving being close to being free
But all that seemed to be too deep philosophy for me
I just keep untying ties before time had the chance to bind
And pray the road I see up ahead of me improves on what's behind

And I'll be packing up and pitching out all the things that I've outgrown
Pushing off for places I've not been
Herdin' another U-Haul down the highway
Reaching out for rainbows once again

Seems to be some satisfaction in a well worn Sunday suit
And from what I'm told most folks on settin' down their roots
But the sun will never shine tomorrow where it shines on me today
Sometimes I know it's hard to go but I'll be worse off if I stay

And I'll be packing up and pitching out all the things that I've outgrown
Pushing off for places I've not been
Herdin' another U-Haul down the highway
Reaching out for rainbows once again
Reaching out for rainbows
Reaching out for rainbows
Reaching out for rainbows once again
