Well, it's a Colorado swing, and it ain't the same old thing that you have heard
Cause it roars up for the Rockies like the sound of a thundering herd
So when you hear it coming, just hang tight, don't utter a word
You get caught up in the motion like the waves upon the ocean
You'll dance and you'll holler and sing
To the rhythm of a Colorado swing
In Texas it's two-step, in Memphis it's all rock and roll
In Louisiana they mamba, they're known to jump high and they'll blow
In New York it's cha-cha, in Detroit it's rhythm and blues
But here in the Rockies there's only one dance in the news
Well, it's a Colorado swing, and it ain't the same old thing that you have heard
Cause it roars up for the Rockies like the sound of a thundering herd
So when you hear it coming, just hang tight, don't utter a word
You get caught up in the motion like the waves upon the ocean
You'll dance and you'll holler and sing
To the rhythm of a Colorado swing
Well, some nights in Denver it rumbles right under your floor
And out in the dance halls they're waiting in droves at the door
In Glenwood and Aspen, Grand Junction to Sterling and Ray
Down to Alamo, to New York, to New York, to New York, to New York, to New York, to New York, to New York, to New York
Oh, so there's only one thing that they all say
Well, it's a Colorado swing, and it ain't the same old thing that you have heard
Cause it roars up for the Rockies like the sound of a thundering herd
So when you hear it coming, just hang tight, don't utter a word
You get caught up in the motion like the waves upon the ocean
You'll dance and you'll holler and sing
You'll dance and you'll holler and sing
To the rhythm of a Colorado swing
