Colorado

I was young, I had a tongue, a bit of pride and blue jeans

I played a bar, filled a jar until I got some new strings

But I found out fast, I didn't quite know how to play

So I headed west, I never guessed that it'd make all the difference

I had to try and see if I could live without your two cents

And sometimes I'm a few cents short

But the mountains taught me some new chords today

Well, I broke down in Colorado

Caught a glimpse of you sitting in my shadow

But you've never seen somewhere that had so much sky

I know back home they won't believe me

But I'm sure that you'd love to see me now

I'd show you how you did

City signs and dotted lines, I've never driven so far

Slower clocks and redder rocks than you can tell from postcards

Somehow I know I'm gonna play this stage someday

So I sang in parks and in the dark to anyone who'd listen

I figured I would rather die than live in indecision

I found out sometimes I'm wrong

And I'm sorry that it took me so long to say

Well, I broke down in Colorado

Caught a glimpse of you sitting in my shadow

But you've never seen somewhere that had so much sky, aye

I know back home they won't believe me

But I'm sure that you'd love to see me now

I'd show you how you did
