Gold In Colorado

GOLD IN COLORADO

Do wrong, do right it don’t bother me tonight.

There’s a full moon outside, and no rain.

And I’ve wasted time in this old town so long.

Feel like broken glass in some old windowpane.


But there’s Gold, they say, in Colorado.

There’s plenty a man can do.

Yes there’s Gold, they say, out in Colorado

and I’m going there to get me some too.


Seems all my dreams are like some wasted scenes,

Torn from a script then thrown away.

So I’m leaving this town. God, I’m tired of feeling down.

I’m leaving for Denver today.

‘Cause there’s Gold, they say, in Colorado.

There’s plenty a man can do.

Yes there’s Gold, they say, out in Colorado

and I’m going there to get me some too.


Want to go to the mountains find the other side of this crowd.

I’ll build my home in the mountains where I can touch the clouds.


How the sun it shines on the mountaintops.

It’s a beauty words can’t describe.

And the summer skies are as blue as the eyes.

Of the woman who’s waiting there for me.

And there’s Gold, she says, in Colorado.

There’s plenty a man can do.

Yes there’s Gold, she says, out in Colorado

and I’m going there to get me some too.

Yes, there’s Gold, they say, in Colorado.

There’s plenty a man can do.

Yes there’s Gold, they say, out in Colorado

and I’m going there to get me some too.

Yes I’m going there to get me, going there to get me,

going there to get me some too.
