Can't you hear that train whistle blowin'?
I hear the station master don't lie
Gonna get all of my bags back
Before that ol' train passes by
Before that ol' train passes by
I've got to get myself back to my
There's a reason for my leavin'
You know I've got to go back home
Gotta get on back!
I'm going on back to Colorado
Cause there ain't much going down around here
Sidewalks are all going up now
And I can't get nothin harder than beer
I sure could pick some cocaine my dear
And I got to get myself out of here
There's a reason for my leavin'
You know I've got to go back home
Get back now!
Been hanging out and walking my soles down
Pretending like I feel right at home
Guess I'll miss the deli on eighth street
But nothing like I miss boulder town
Just to get that good mountain brown
Just to get that good mountain brown
There's a reason for my leavin'
You know I've got to go on back home
Better get back, get back
There's a reason for my leavin'
You know I've got to go back home
Get on back now!
There's a reason for my leavin'
You know I've got to go back home
I'm going on back to Colorado
Cause there ain't much going down around here
Sidewalks are all going up now
And I can't get nothin harder than beer
I sure could pick some cocaine my dear
And I got to get myself out of here
There's a reason for my leavin'
You know I've got to go back home
There's a reason for my leavin'
You know I've got to go back home
There's a reason for my leavin'
You know I've got to go back home
Going Back to Colorado was written by Tommy Bolin & John Tesar & Candy Givens.
Going Back to Colorado was produced by Eddie Kramer.
When Tommy brought it to the band, it was called “Going Back To Texas”. I talked him into changing it to ‘Colorado’ and then Candy and I changed the lyrics to reflect our real life. For live, Tommy played a little old lap-steel guitar. He was always a good slide player and he had fun with this one....
