She woke up one hot and dusty morning in July
And the man she thought she knew was nowhere by her side
I was gone before the sun could brighten up her day
I had a life to live and I couldn't stay
And I never once looked back, no I just drove away
And I never thought about her mother
Until today
I heard Colorado calling
Touching me from far away
I could feel her breeze upon my shoulder
Colorado calling yesterday
Sitting in the darkness
Blowing smoke rings at the wall
All the buried treasures wasn't really here at all
I left the gold so far behind
I wonder if she's there
Cause if she takes me back, it's forever
And I never once looked back
No I just drove away
I'm going back to where she's at
Going back to where she's at
Yesterday, I hear Colorado callin', touchin' me from far, far away.
I could feel her breeze upon my shoulders, Colorado callin' yesterday.
