Colorado Everywhere I Go For My Ol' Amigo 'One Fly' Hang with 'em, Compadre

The sun melts the snow and makes the river flow to the sea

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

Slow Death

I called the doctor
Up in the morning
I had a fever
It was a warning
She said "There's nothing I can prescribe
To keep your raunchy bag of bones alive"
I got some money left for one more shot
She said "God bless you" I said "Thanks a lot"

It's a slow, slow death

I called the preacher
Holy, holy
I begged forgiveness
That's when he told me
He said "There's nothing I can prescribe
To keep your raunchy bag of bones alive"
I got some money left for one more shot
He said "God bless you" I said "Thanks a lot"

[Chorus/instrumental break]

I got to mainline
A hit of morphine
It's set to mainline
It's like a bad dream
Slow death... eat my mind away
Slow death... turn my guts to clay
Slow death [repeated]
Yeah, yeah [repeated]
