‘I Guess They’d Rather Be in Colorado?’

We recently made a trip to Denver to visit Tonya’s 95 year old grandmother. This is what the drive looked like as we got to Colorado Springs. I guess just about EVERYBODY would rather be in Colorado…

I guess he’d rather be in Colorado
He’d rather spend his time out where the sky looks like a pearl after a rain…

Once again I see him walkin Once again I hear him talking to the stars he makes
and asking them for bus fare.
I guess he’d rather be in Colorado…

He’d rather play his banjo in the morning when the moon is scarcely gone.
In the dawn the subways comin in the dawn I hear him hummin’
Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon.
I guess he’d rather be in Colorado…

I guess he’d rather be in Colorado
I guess he’d rather work out where the only thing you earn is what you spend.
In the end up in his office
In the end a quiet cough is all he has to show
He lives in New York City.
