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
