Jimmie Lee Sloas - Why Not Colorado lyrics

[Verse 1] We came so far, me and my lone star baby Leavin's so hard but this ol' heart is breakin' Come mornin' I'm Denver bound Gonna set my sights on higher ground [Chorus] Why not Colorado Far away across the Great Divide High above the sorrow, who needs love above the timber line Why die in Amarillo, oh [?] just as quiet as the Texas plain Let no memory follow I'll be gone tomorrow Why not Colorado [Verse 2] The love we made here has got to stay here But not me I'm gonna trade tears when he plays Where I won't be Some fool in a dust bowl town Prayin' that you'll come around [Chorus] Why not Colorado Far away across the Great Divide High above the sorrow, who needs love above the timber line Why die in Amarillo, oh [?] just as quiet as the Texas plains Let no memory follow I'll be gone tomorrow Why not Colorado [Bridge] I've got friends who say that a heart heals fast in Mexico But I need rain or snow to bury the memory of one Texas love [Chorus] Why not Colorado Far away across the Great Divide High above the sorrow, who needs love above the timber line Why die in Amarillo, oh [?] just as quiet as the Texas plains Let no memory follow I'll be gone tomorrow Why not Colorado [Tag] Let no memory follow I'll be gone tomorrow Why not Colorado
