Paradise Road Songtext
von Dolly Parton

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 to 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

Paradise is a state of mind
Down the road of life and time
And the friends we meet
Make the travellin′ 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
Paradise Road
Down Paradise Road
(Down Paradise Road)
Paradise Road
