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
