How They Did It Back Home Lyrics

Hiking boots, show my roots in the Colorado sky

Wind and sun, snow and fun, living Rocky Mountain high

In our town, feeling down, was the warmth of a feather vest

When things were rough, we got tough

On our own frontier in the wild, wild west

I can get where I'm going, I can brave any storm

I can reap every seed I'm sowing, 'cause

That's how they did it back home

Follow her rules, or nature is cruel, we're just teardrops in a flood

Shivering rain, awash in our pain

As icy rivers flowed with blood

I can get where I'm going, I can brave any storm

I can reap every seed I'm sowing, 'cause

That's how they did it back home

Growing up in the mountains, life was fragile and pure

Time was short, so each day counted

And that spirit endures

Hiking boots, show my roots in the Colorado sky

Wind and sun, snow and fun, living Rocky Mountain high

I can get where I'm going, I can brave any storm

I can reap every seed I'm sowing, 'cause

That's how they did it back home

I can get where I'm going, and I can brave any storm

I can reap every seed I'm sowing, but

I'd never make it alone

That's how they did it back home
