Paradise Road lyrics
Song information
Artist: Dolly Parton Album: Hungry Again
Lyrics
I grew up dirty and I grew up poor the wolf didn't even hang round our door Not a crumb to spare and the cupboard bare And I had the gift of imagination I could change my situation Anytime I choose I could always go down paradise road I found a kingdom deep within a place dream and to pretend And to prepare for the world out there A dream can dress you when you're ragged fill you up when hunger's naggin' I warmed my soul when life was cold on paradise road
Paradise is a state of mind the sun shines warm and all the time And the rain don't flow and the wind don't blow on paradise road A place no one can take from me a place of everlasting peace Where dreamers go it's never closed paradise road [ mandolin ] Paradise is a state of mind down the road of life and time And the friends we meet make the travling sweet on paradise road Sometimes now when the world is mad I find that place I've always had Inside my soul it's paved in gold paradise road
I grew up dirty and I grew up poor the wolf didn't even hang round our door Not a crumb to spare and the cupboard bare But I had the gift of imagination I could change my situation Anytime I choose I could always go down paradise road Paradise road paradise road down paradise road paradise road
