Hey Colorado, it was not so long ago
I left your mountains to try life on the road
But 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 and I left her far behind
I could have loved her if I only had the time
But I stopped along my way
Just long enough to say
That I'd really like to stay
But my lady, you know I have to go
I was too young to know just what I done
I made my plans but I was wrong, yes, I was wrong
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 wanna come home
I wanna come home
Won't you let me come home?
