Well, it's a mighty lonesome feelin'
Listenin' to the wind howlin'
Watchin' raindrops come fallin'
To the pavement outside your door
It's a fool I am for waitin'
For the sound of your returnin'
For the sound of gentle breathin'
Footsteps 'cross the floor
Well, I can't remain no longer
I'm headed out to Colorado
When the sun brings in the mornin'
I'll be leavin' on my way
Well, the grass is growin' green there
A warm wind's rollin' down the mountain
Down inside some lonesome canyon
That's where I mean to stay
If you ever come to Denver
Mama, please don't try to find me
All you do is just remind me
Of the way you let me down
Well, dreams, they're easily shattered
But you've got to go on livin'
And maybe that's the reason I'm Colorado bound
I'm Colorado bound
