Colorado Lyrics

I built my life a few state lines away

I've got hands to shake and songs to play

The folks I left are the reason why I came and have to stay

I don't mind the warmer winters

The tourists liven up the town

I can deal with the bustlin' of the city

And oh lord, I love to please the crowds

But if I had it my way

We'd be out west together by now

I would fly out there today

And by the night we'd be headed out of town

You found yourself a good job out of college

You always had a straighter path then I did

But you knew there's a better one than that life that you'd adopted

And so you left, packed the van and went west

And It's there you'll finally find it

And if I had it my way

We'd be out west together by now

I would fly out there today

And by the night we'd be headed out of town

Through the foothills to the heavens

Past the red rocks, pines, and the weathered land

We always said we'd live in once we're old

Oh man I promise when I've seen this part of my life through

I'll leave Tennessee en route to Colorado

Oh man I promise

Oh man I promise when I leave

Don't wait for me

Don't wait for me

But if I had it my way

We'd be out west together by now

I would fly out there today

And by the night we'd be headed out of town

We'd drive straight through the foothills to the heavens

Past the red rocks, pines, and the weathered land

We always said we'd live in once we're old

Oh man I promise when I've seen this part of my life through

I'll leave Tennessee en route to Colorado

Oh man I promise when I've seen this part of my life through

I'll leave Tennessee en route to Colorado
