Colorado

In a bar outside L.A.
I heard someone say Colorado
And it took me far away
To a memory that won’t seem to let go
It was a summer afternoon
Snow on the mountain, iris in bloom

Oh Colorado
Whenever I hear your name
I’m down in Durango chasing a rainbow
And Carrie is her name
Colorado

Carrie knew her way
To a waterfall next to a canyon
And we’d hike up everyday
And make love in a meadow of aspen
Then summer turned to fall
Now I’m back in the city, but I’m not here at all

Oh Colorado
Whenever I hear your name
I’m down in Durango chasing a rainbow
And Carrie is her name
Colorado

In a bar outside LA
I heard someone say

Oh Colorado
Whenever I hear your name
I’m down in Durango chasing a rainbow
And Carrie is her name
Colorado
