She never fell for the dreams that she chased
Down into the night where reality bites
Of a sour bitter taste that she knows she must face
Never quite right to be there in the bright neon lights
Buildings all around the constant droning sound
Everybody rushes by you it’s time to put it down
There’s a mess in their wake as they take and they take
Get out get a break now oh please for heaven’s sake
You can give it all away
You can leave it all behind
Tomorrow’s one less today
Don’t chase the rainbow blind
There’s another way
And a freedom you may find
Stuff’s heavy anyway
So leave it all behind
Out across the bridge heading for the ridge
Two days through the corn fields under the steel
River running wild to the other side
The mountains get so high they nearly reach the sky
The wide open sky where the birds like to fly
Down into the steep walls they fly beneath the falls
Where they hunt and where they fish
I think you got your wish
Get ourselves back in town
Before the sun goes down
Chorus
Stuff’s heavy anyway
Don’t chase the rainbow blind
Stuff’s heavy anyway
Just leave it all behind
