Colorado

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 mamma told me I was crazy to go

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...
