written by Rick Roberts Hey Colorado 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
