I Guess He'd Rather Be In Colorado

by Elitelee

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.
