149 Lyrics

Down 149

That's where my heart is tonight

Up where the wildflowers bloom

And the silver mines used to boom

Yeah, down 149

Is where they'll lay me down

When I die

Lots of people talk about home

And the pride that it brings

Well, I know where that is for me

A sleepy valley where the bluebirds sing

Yeah, I've been around this country

From New York to New Orleans

Nashville to Los Angeles(LA)

But there's only one place

in my dreams

And she winds like a ribbon through time

I close my eyes and hear the blacktop whine

Oh, take me back, take me back

To those blue Colorado skies

Down 149

That's where my heart is tonight

Up where the wildflowers bloom

And the silver mines used to boom

Yeah, down 149

Is where they'll lay me down

When I die

Instrumental interlude

Too many days in the rat race

Chasing stuff that don't add up

I need a high mountain place

To save my soul and fill my cup

I've never been much for praying

Or wishing on things I can't see

Prefer the magic of a sunset

Bout' 40 miles up that road

is where I'll be

And she winds like a ribbon through time

I close my eyes and hear the blacktop whine

Oh, take me back, take me back

To those blue Colorado skies

Down 149

That's where my heart is tonight

Up where the wildflowers bloom

And the silver mines used to boom

Yeah, down 149

Is where they'll lay me down

Is where they'll lay me down

Is where they'll lay me down

When I die
