I guess he?d 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
