Mary Chapin Carpenter - I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado lyrics

I guess he'd rather be in Colorado He'd rather spend his time out where the sky looks like a pearl after the rain Once again I see him walking, once again I hear him talking To the stars he makes and asking them the 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 subway's coming, in the dawn I hear him humming 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 I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
