Colorado
Colorado
I was only seventeen
Just a small town beauty queen
When a handsome guy
Went and got my eye
Such a sight to see
He said such a pretty face
Ought to see a far-off place
A place where eagles fly
Where mountains touch the sky
A place so wild and free
Oh, oh, oh Colorado
You got me messing with a desperado
My mamma told me I was crazy to go
Oh, oh, oh Colorado
I gave my life away with nothing to show
And now Im living with a man and a gun
Im just a fool on the run
All the pretty things he said
Took my heart, went to my head
But the soft guitars
The nights beneath the stars
Were a fantasy
He had such a wanted face
Wanted in most every place
Im nothing in his hands
This devil, not the man
Thats what he lies with me
Oh, oh, oh Colorado
