Hey Colorado it was not so long ago
I left your mountain to try life on the road
Now I'm finished with that race it was much too fast a pace
And I think I know my place Colorado I wanna come home
There was a woman but I left her far behind
I could have loved her if I only had the time
But I stopped along the way just long enough to say
Lord I'd really really like to stay
But my lady knows I've got to go
I was too young to know what I've done
I made my plans but I was wrong yes I was wrong
Hey Colorado is it too late to change my mind
I've done some thinking and I'm trying hard to find
The way to come back home
Oh I've been so very long alone
Won't you take care of your own Colorado I think I'm coming home
