Colorado Video (MV)

I built my life a few state lines away
I've got hands to shake and songs to play
The folks I left are the reason why I came and have to stay

I don't mind the warmer winters
The tourists liven up the town
I can deal with the bustlin' of the city
And oh lord, I love to please the crowds

But if I had it my way
We'd be out west together by now
I would fly out there today
And by the night we'd be headed out of town

You found yourself a good job out of college
You always had a straighter path then I did
But you knew there's a better one than that life that you'd adopted

And so you left, packed the van and went west
And It's there you'll finally find it

And if I had it my way
We'd be out west together by now
I would fly out there today
And by the night we'd be headed out of town
Through the foothills to the heavens
Past the red rocks, pines, and the weathered land
We always said we'd live in once we're old
Oh man I promise when I've seen this part of my life through
I'll leave Tennessee en route to Colorado

Oh man I promise
Oh man I promise when I leave
Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me

But if I had it my way
We'd be out west together by now
I would fly out there today
And by the night we'd be headed out of town
We'd drive straight through the foothills to the heavens
Past the red rocks, pines, and the weathered land
We always said we'd live in once we're old
Oh man I promise when I've seen this part of my life through
I'll leave Tennessee en route to Colorado

Oh man I promise when I've seen this part of my life through
I'll leave Tennessee en route to Colorado
