Lyrics
Colorado
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
High on the top of the highest hill
Where the woods are dryand the wind is still you'll find me
Gazin' across a sea of pine I'm ready if I see a sign
Of risin' smoke scarlet flame play the forrest ranger game
Out where the Rocky Mountains are
With the telephones and the traffic far behind me
Colorado Colorado
I got a gal in Denver town who says she wants to settle down and love me
But then she says she'd rather see me workin' in a factory
A pumpin' gas sellin' stock at home at night at five o'clock
I tell her I can't make that scene but then she says she's only thinking of me
Colorado Colorado
Now the rain is fallin' and the woods are wet
I tell myself I must forget about her
Why can't that woman realize it cost too much to comprise
A man's no good unless he's free and I must be what I must be
If all the love I have to give is not enough I'll learn to live without her
Colorado Colorado Colorado Colorado
