LYRICS

I'm riding the rainbow

Hitting the highway to happiness

Oh yes, I'm looking to find someone

Whose meant to be mine

I'm living to love and loving to live

I've got a heart, I'm longing to give

I'm riding the rainbow

I'll follow that star to where you are

I'm riding the rainbow

Heading for heaven and happiness

I guess somebody somewhere

Someday will teach me to care

But being alone

Don't bother me

I'm free to have fun

It's fun to be free

I'm riding the rainbow

I'll follow that star

I'm riding the rainbow

To where you are
