Got on a bus in Memphis   Destination Rome   Georgia ain't no paradise   But a place I just call home      I sat next to a broken hearted bride   She was cryin', tryin' so hard to hide   Her selfish sorrow      I tried to get her talkin'   She didn't have much to say   She asked me for a map to death row   But I didn't know the way      She had lost a million in the game   One look out the window   At the pine trees and the rain   It wasn't her day      Multicolored lady   You ain't like no rainbow I've ever seen   Multicolored lady   Angry red, passion blue   But mostly shades of green      Midnight came and brought more rain   Nothing seemed to ease her pain   The hours that we talked   Seemed like minutes all in vane      I watched   As her tears kept runnin' wide   Bye and bye and bye, way back after a while   She started smilin'      Multicolored lady   You ain't like no rainbow I've ever known   Multicolored lady   Come go with me, I'll take you to my home      Oh, by the way, I'm bound for Rome
