In My Colorado Home (Album Version)

In My Colorado Home - Sons Of San Joaquin

I was born and raised where the cattle graze under

Colorado skies

The tumbling creeks and the

Spanish peaks tells tails both old and wise

If you learn to love these mountains you never will depart

If your heart's in Colorado

Colorado's in your heart

Then a lady fair who lived out there

And this cowboy fell in love

I held her tight by a campfire

Bright under blazing stars above

I pledged my love forever and vowed I'd never part

My heart was for this woman this woman for my heart

Under rancher skies where

The eagle flies is where I long to ride

Down the wooded slopes with my dreams

And hopes and sweetheart by my side

The streams and trails and

The mountain vales are the paths I long to roam

Where the hawk flies free is the place

For me in my Colorado home

But a young cowboy full of life

And joy has a need to wander far

So I rode away on a piebald

Grey led by the morn' stars

I pushed that grey down

Texas way where the cattle trails all start

My heart was for me only just I was in my heart

So I rode those trails to the hitchin'

Rails of that rugged lonesome land

I danced all night I drank and fight

'Cause I could not understand

Why I found no peace no sweet release

And by mornin' I depart

My heart was lost and lonely lonely was my heart

Under rancher skies where

The eagle flies is where I long to ride

Down the wooded slopes with my dreams

And hopes and sweetheart by my side

The streams and trails and

The mountain vales are the paths I long to roam

Where the hawk flies free is

The place for me in my Colorado home

So I put my horse on a westward course

To the mountains I did ride

My love so fair was a waitin' there

On the slopes of the great divide

We'll always be together never more to part

My heart's in Colorado Colorado's in my heart

Under rancher skies where

The eagle flies is where I long to ride

Down the wooded slopes with my dreams

And hopes and sweetheart by my side

The streams and trails and

The mountain vales are the paths I long to roam

Where the hawk flies free is

The place for me in my Colorado home

Where the hawk flies free is

The place for me in my Colorado home

Colorado Colorado Colorado
