Colorado .......

Chuck tellin' it like it IS!

I came as a young man, refugee from the plains
Was looking for higher ground
Where the sun shines through the rain

Where the mountain folks and the old cowpokes
Have found a peace of mind
I guess a love of mother nature makes you naturally kind

Colorado, everywhere I go I'm in your shadow
And you're callin' to me
Colorado, the sun melts the snow
Makes the rivers flow to the sea

Say goodbye to Denver out across the divide
Last day of September such a fine day for a ride

It's a Buena Vista mornin', a Durango afternoon
Round a Mesa Verde campfire I'll be hummin' this tune

Colorado, everywhere I go I'm in your shadow
And you're callin' to me
Colorado, the sun melts the snow
Makes the rivers flow to the sea

There's a warm winter sun in the window of the car
How do you know where you are?

Colorado, everywhere I go I'm in your shadow
And you're callin' to me
Colorado, the sun melts the snow
Makes the rivers flow to the sea
