colorado

hey colorado

it was not so long ago

i left your mountains to try life on the road

but i'm tired of that race

it was much too fast a pace

and i think i've found my place

colorado

i want to come home

i had a man there but i left him far behind

i could have loved him if i'd only had the time

ah but i stopped along my way

just long enough to say

that i'd really like to stay

but my baby

you know i have to go

i was too young

to know what i'd done

i made my plans

but i was wrong

yes i was wrong

colorado

is it too late to change my mind

i've done some thinking

and i'm trying hard to find

a way to come back home

cause i've been so very long alone

won't you take care of your own

colorado

i think i'm coming home

i want to come home

let me come home
