Back in Colorado
We were living down in Boulder
With moonshine in our bellies
And moonbeams on our shoulders
Back then I was free
With nothing holding on to me
Smoke was smoke and drink was drink
And the grass was warm beneath our feet
We had moonbeams on our shoulders
In nineteen seventy

And I said
What can I say
You packed your bags
And went away one day
And what can I do
Except sit on my porch
And wait for you to come back
One day

And my rocking chair is weary now
My heart it feels so alone
It's been three long years
Since you disappeared
My beard has grown so gray and long
And now I don't feel so free
When you left you took a piece of me

And I still got moonshine in my belly
No more moonbeams are on my shoulders
I'm not half the man I use to be
And every night I dream of you
In nineteen seventy

And I said
What can I say
Its been three, four, five years now
Since you went away
One day
What can I do
Except sit on my porch
And wait for you to come back
One day

I see a figure up the road
Under the weight of a heavy load
But my eyes they must deceive me now
I've had this dream time and again
But I find myself upon my feet
Just like I have each time before
Your hazel eyes met mine
Your same old face with a few more lines
And we were back in Colorado
In that place that they call boulder
And the moonshine mixed with tears
Float down and moonbeams fell upon
Our shoulders

She said I've traveled this world
A few times around
And every night I dream of you
In nineteen seventy

And she said
What can I do
'Cause every night I dream of you
And what can I say
I have traveled the world to get back to you
To make it home
Today

And now we're back In Colorado
In that place that they call Boulder
We've been on our porch now
For twenty odd years
With moonshine in our bellies
And moonbeams on our shoulders
On our shoulders
