Lyrics

By Bryant Switzky

We wandered together, swerving left and pulling right
Chasing the horizon, a rumble in the night
Your curves of steel all covered in red
Standing beside you we turned every head

We were picking up speed, it was after the rain
Your engine was pumping the oil in your veins
I lost you there in the red light glow
Smoke in the air, your blood in the road

Your blood made rainbows in the road on the day that you died
Rainbows in the road like you were saying goodbye
Rainbows in the road it was a beautiful sight
Rainbows in the road on the day
The day that that you died

When we first got together we both turned 21
You were faded and tired in the California sun
I bought you new leather and cleaned you up good
If I could touch you again you know that I would

We were picking up speed, it was after the rain
Your engine was pumping the oil in your veins
I lost you there in the red light glow
Smoke in the air, your blood in the road

Your blood made rainbows in the road on the day that you died
Rainbows in the road like you were saying goodbye
Rainbows in the road it was a beautiful sight
Rainbows in the road on the day
The day that that you died

I wish you could forgive me
It's too late for that
I left you for dead in the Cumberland Gap
Maybe somebody found you and brought you back to life
Brought you back to life

Your blood made rainbows in the road on the day that you died
Rainbows in the road like you were saying goodbye
Rainbows in the road it was a beautiful sight
Rainbows in the road on the day
The day that that you died
