Centennial State Blues ft. Randall Conrad Olinger Lyrics

When I was a young man

I listened to my heart

I was cast as a fool in her

Comedy

And I gladly played the part

Yes I gladly played the part

But the ground in Colorado is

Harder than some

It took me most the night before

I got done

Been digging my way out of this

Hole where I've been

Tamping down the earth upon the

Grave for my sins

Now I'm an old man

Who listens to his heart

If I'm a villain in this tragedy

Oh I guess I played the part

Yes I guess I played the part

But the ground in Colorado is

Harder than some

It took me most the night before

Well I got done

Been digging my way out of this

Hole where I've been

Tamping down the earth upon the

Grave for my sins

She took twenty-some odd years from me

I've done my time

If I take back six with lead

Well that ain't no crime

The ground in Colorado is

Harder than some

It took me most the night before

But I got done

Digging my way out of this

Hole where I've been

And tamping down the earth upon the Grave for my sins
