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 only had the time
But I stopped along the 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've 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

Oh I've been so very long alone

Won't you take care of your own?
Colorado I think I'm coming home
