"Colorado" lyrics

Hey Colorado, it was not so long ago
I left your mountains 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
Oh, 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'd 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
Lord, 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?
