Got on the bus in Memphis,   Destination Rome.   Georgia ain't no paradise   but a place I could 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 my window at the pine trees and the rain   It wadn'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 gray.      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 her endless 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.
