Hey Colorado it was not so long ago

I left your mountain to try life on the road

Now I'm finished with that race it was much too fast a pace

And I think I know my place Colorado I wanna come home

There was a woman but I left her far behind

I could have loved her if I only had the time

But I stopped along the way just long enough to say

Lord I'd really really like to stay

But my lady knows I've got to go

I was too young to know what I've done

I made my plans but I was wrong yes I was wrong

Hey Colorado is it too late to change my mind

I've done some thinking and I'm trying hard to find

The way to come back home

Oh I've been so very long alone

Won't you take care of your own Colorado I think I'm coming home

Done
