I was sitting on a rainbow
Waiting for a train
Or perhaps a big old airplane
Or a fancy limousine

And I have to be getting somewhere
There's so much to see
But lord, won't you watch over me?

I was speaking French to strangers
In the Vegas afterglow
All coc'ed up, my mind all stuffed
But I still enjoyed the show

And I have to be getting somewhere
There's so much to see
But lord, won't you watch over me?

And I'll grasp the land
In my big hungry hands
But even then I can't see

And I'd get mad
But it is as it stands
So why let it bother me

I was looking for a scapegoat
Traveling town to town
Looking for that special man
To help me settle down

I have to be getting somewhere
There's so much to see
But lord, won't you watch over me?

I said my lord, won't you watch over me?
I said my lord, won't you watch over me?
