Hey, Colorado
It was not so long ago
I left your mountains to try life on the road
But I'm tired of that race
It was much too fast a pace
And I think I've found my place
Colorado, I want to come home

I had a man there but I left him far behind
I could have loved him if I'd only had the time
Ah, but I stopped along my way
Just long enough to say
That I'd really like to stay
But my baby
You know I have to go

I was too young
To know what I'd 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
A way to come back home
'Cause I've been so very long alone
Won't you take care of your own 
Colorado
I think I'm coming home
I want to come home
Let me come home
