Verse 1 She was sittin down at the river Watching the clouds roll by Daddy said One day baby Youll have to spread your wings and fly Momma and daddy were good folks But they did not understand So she started chasing rainbows Just to clear her head And the ties that bind Hurt her more Than the road that lay ahead Chorus And she said Im leaving And its gonna be alright Theres a Bible on the nightstand And Im ready for the fight Scars will fade and the memories remain But the pain will make it right Verse 2 Well she met a man one sunny day He said Theres no one like you So she fell in love and swore on her grave that shed Be there the whole way through All she wanted was only forever And he just couldnt explain How the way she moved lit up the room But it caused him so much pain Eyes in the rearview she bowed her head And wondered if it aint all the same Chorus And she said Im leaving And its gonna be alright Theres a Bible on the nightstand And I think I know whats right Ive learned by now to feel no pain And its just a part of life Inst Verse 3 Well she was still chasing rainbows Running from the storms trapped in her mind To her surprise when she reached the end There was no gold in sight Now shes all alone and her house is no home But theres a spark left in her eye Now shes sittin down at the river Watching the clouds roll by Her old wrinkled hand searching For the gun by her side Chorus And she said Im leaving And its gonna be alright Theres a Bible on the nightstand And I can see a light Right on top of the world With all the stars out that night That river keeps running through her dreams Everythings gonna be alright
