I park the car by the river

One of our rivers

Of course this song would come on

I let it play by the river

As I wade way into the river

Just to stand up neck deep boots and all

With the current crashing past me lashing

Both arms red and raw



But all the rivers in Colorado couldn't wash you off of my mind

Not that I'm tryin', just a thought though

Might be nice to keep from crying

Like all the rivers in Colorado

You would float down in my arms

Now you're gone and though they know that

These stupid arms still hope to hold back

All the rivers in Colorado



Still the night river

Still the white river

Still the silver swordplay in the sun

Still the crystal blue clear, muddy root beer-colored rivers run



But all the rivers in Colorado couldn't wash you off of my mind

Not that I'm tryin', just a thought though

Might be nice to keep from crying

Like all the rivers in Colorado

You would float down in my arms

Now you're gone and though they know that

These stupid arms still hope to hold back

All the rivers in Colorado



John is on the radio

But I'm at an all time Rocky Mountain low



All the rivers in Colorado couldn't wash you off of my mind

Not that I'm tryin', just a thought though

Might be nice to keep from crying

Like all the rivers in Colorado

You would float down in my arms

Now you're gone, I get it though

I've got to learn to let it go like

All the rivers in Colorado
