[Verse 1]
Left my boots by the door
Took the long way west
Woke up where the pine trees
Leaned into the rest
Snow on the fence line
Dust on the hood
I ain't from here, but I feel
Like I always should
[Pre-Chorus]
And every bend in the road
Feels like it knows my name
The mountains hold the evening
And I don't fight the change
[Chorus]
Colorado, take me home
(oh, take me home)
Where the river runs cold
And the air cuts through my bones
Colorado, let me roam
(let me roam)
If I never move again
Let me call this land my own
[Verse 2]
Saw the sun on the water
Gold on the glass
Kids by the creek bed
Laughing as they pass
One old diner’s open
Coffee gone strong
Everybody says my accent
Sounds a little bit wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
But the hills don't care
If you were born up the way
They just make room
For the ones who stay
[Chorus]
Colorado, take me home
(oh, take me home)
Where the river runs cold
And the air cuts through my bones
Colorado, let me roam
(let me roam)
If I never move again
Let me call this land my own
[Bridge]
I don't need a map now
I can read the sky
I know that ridge by sunset
I know that hawk in flight
If the world gets heavy
And the nights run long
I'll be where the blue peaks rise
And the road turns on
[Chorus]
Colorado, take me home
(take me home)
Where the river runs cold
And the air cuts through my bones
Colorado, let me roam
(let me roam)
If I never move again
Let me call this land my own
[Outro]
Colorado, take me home
Colorado, let me roam
