Kris Kristofferson - Here comes that Rainbow again 2009

Kris Kristofferson

The scene was a small roadside cafe,
The waitress was sweeping the floor.
Two truck drivers drinking their coffee.
And two Okie kids by the door.
"How much are them candies?" they asked her.
"How much have you got?" she replied.
"We've only a penny between us."
"Them's two for a penny," she lied.

And the daylight grew heavy with thunder,
With the smell of the rain on the wind.
Ain't it just like a human.
Here comes that rainbow again.

One truck driver called to the waitress,
After the kids went outside.
"Them candies ain't two for a penny."
"So what's it to you?" she replied.
In silence they finished their coffee,
And got up and nodded goodbye.
She called: "Hey, you left too much money!"
"So what's it to you?" they replied.

And the daylight was heavy with thunder,
With the smell of the rain on the wind.
Ain't it just like a human.
Here comes that rainbow again.

@CashPresley32 I agree, watch the highwaymen live video (the good one from Nassau arena) and it is hard to image any 4 artists anywhere like this all together. I finally stayed sober because of these great men.

A feel-good ballad. Kris Kristofferson as a gift for tunes of this nature.

Great Sound, great song and a great tribute to the king.

@xiphoguy Just think all those music loving listeners have been been exposed to Steinbeck's classic for over thirty years and were not even aware of it. I will bet he is pleased that there are a few still reading him after all those years. I don't think Steinbeck would mind someone as great as Kriss borrowed a few remembered words from one of his novels. If you are going to borrow borrow from someone great. Peace.

ooooh Kris, Stop growing older, but thanks so for all of these inspirational years. And let us all hope that the Rainbow Spirit comes back to us all in 2010 for the kids that die each day from cancer. They cannot be statistics for bPHARMA. For little Angel Twin Ellie Potvin (now an angel with wings), there has to be other things we can do.
