Colorado - The Flying Burrito Brothers

Hey Colorado, it was not so long ago

I left your mountains 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 wanna come home

There was a woman but I left her far behind

I could have loved her if I’d only had the time

Oh, but I stopped along my way

Just long enough to say

Lord I’d really, 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, yes, 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

Lord, I’ve been so very long alone

Won’t you take care of your own?

Colorado, I think I’m coming home

I wanna come home

Won’t you let me come home?
