I left your mountain 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
