I'm going back to the Colorado rocky mountains Going back to see my girl And if she's gone, I know I'll find her She's the only one I love I'm gonna hop a freight train just to get to Colorado I've been away far too long When I get home I'll see my mother, father, brother, sister too And way up high You can see the eagle fly The snow-capped mountains Reaching to the sky I'm going back to the Colorado rocky mountains Lonely country that I love Far away from city street lights And the stars shine bright above And way up high You can see the eagle fly The snow-capped mountains Reaching to the sky That's why I'm going back to the Colorado rocky mountains Back to the country that I love
