Colorado (Rick Roberts) Hey Colorado it was not so long ago I left your mountain to try life on the road Now I'm finished with that race It was much too fast a pace And I think I know my place Colorado I wanna come home There was a woman but I left her far behind I could have loved her if I'd only had the time But I stopped along my way Just long enough to say Lord I'd really really like to stay But my lady knows I've got to go I was too young to know what I've done I made my plans but I was wrong yes I was wrong Hey Colorado is it too late to change my mind I've done some thinking and I'm trying hard to find The way to come back home Oh I've been so very long alone Won't you take care of your own Colorado I think I'm coming home I wanna come home Won't you let me come home Copyright 1971 Silver Wing Songs (BMI) From the "The Flying Burrito Bros" Rick Roberts tells: I wrote this song shortly after I arrived in California to pursue a career in music; maybe even become a "rock star." I was turned down a bunch before I got lucky and was invited to join the FBB. In the meantime, I had a lot of opportunities to wonder whether I would have been better off to stay around the Rocky Mountains instead of chasing a silly dream.
