Colorado Blues

[Verse 1]
Late at night, I lay in bed
And run the roads inside my head
Trying to return to where I'm from
Lying on my crooked back
I look back on my crooked path
Winding my way back now just seems dark

[Chorus]
I get blue like Colorado
I hang down like those Rocky Mountain skies
In the Valley of Why Do I Go
Dreamin' of the mountains I should climb

[Verse 2]
Sittin' still just wouldn't please me
So I made my way out easy
I was young when I stole the Ratón Pass
Went up north and drifted west
Until some hill folk called me Tex
I just prayed the Lord would straighten out my path

[Chorus]
I get blue like Colorado
I hang down like thosе Rocky Mountain skies
In the Valley of Why Do I Go
Drеamin' of the mountains I should climb

[Bridge]
Lift your eyes up to the hills
Pray the Lord your soul to keep
So afraid he never will
Born a stray, just out of reach
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord, come and find me

[Chorus]
I get blue like Colorado
I hang down like those Rocky Mountain skies
In the Valley of Why Do I Go
Dreamin' of the mountains I should climb

[Outro]
Dreamin' of the mountains I should climb
