Paradise Road歌词

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
Chorus:
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
Paradise is a state of mind
Down the road of life and time
And the friends we meet
Make the travlin' 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
