Colorado

(You're My Home)

I could never see you there, in all your deep and dark despair.

Where country girls could never feel at home

Towering high above it all, those concrete, steel and plastic walls

Where people crowd together all alone,

I can't see how you live with it all

Where mountains only rise above the posters on your wall . . .

On your wall.

Chorus:

But, Colorado, You're my Home

And all the places that I’ve roamed

Will never match the peace within my soul

Cause, Colorado you’re my Home

When the days get oh, so slow, my conscience tells me where to go,

I climb up where the wind blows through the trees.

But when I need the city lights, to dance among a moonlit night,

Denver's glow is beckoning to me.

I don't see how you live from day to day.

No place left to go if you need to get away.

To get away.

Chorus:

Once you said you loved me so, But where did all that loving go

Must have been graffiti on your wall.

Chicago's not my kind of town, unless I'm taking off the ground

And heading back to where those picas call

You know I cried when you couldn't come today.

Perhaps you'll find another time, perhaps another way.

Another way.

Chorus:
