Colorado

by Rick Roberts

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 want to 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 my way
Just long enough to say
Lord, I'd really like to stay
But my lady knows I've got to go

I was too young to know what I'd done
I made my plans, but 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
