I was only seventeen
Just a small town beauty queen
When a handsome guy went and got my eye
Such a sight to see
He said such a pretty face
Ought to see a far-off place
A place where eagles fly, where mountains touch the sky
A place so wild and free
Oh, oh, oh, Colorado
You got me messing with a desperado
My mama told me I was crazy to go
When you're in love you're such a fool, don't you know
Oh, oh, oh Colorado
I gave my life away with nothing to show
And now I'm living with a man and a gun
I'm just a fool on the run
All the pretty things he said
Took my heart, went to my head
But the soft guitars
The nights beneath the stars were a fantasy
He had such a wanted face
Wanted in most every place
I'm nothing in his hands
This devil, not the man
That's what he lies with me
Oh, oh, oh, Colorado
You got me messing with a desperado
My mama told me I was crazy to go
When you're in love you're such a fool, don't you know
Oh, oh, oh Colorado
I gave my life away with nothing to show
And now I'm living with a man and a gun
I'm just a fool on the run
Oh, oh, oh, Colorado
You got me messing with a desperado
