From the recording State by State "Tribute 1"
Lyrics
Driving through the morning light
Red rocks rising to my right
Snowcaps gleaming far away
Colorado, here I'll stay
In the mountains, I can breathe
Pine trees dancing in the breeze
Where the air is thin and clear
Colorado, draw me near
Denver lights fade in the rear
Trading cities for the frontier
Aspens turning gold and bright
Painting autumn, pure and white
In the mountains, I can breathe
Pine trees dancing in the breeze
Where the air is thin and clear
Colorado, draw me near
From the plains to peaks so high
Endless blue across the sky
Every trail and winding stream
Living out a western dream
In the mountains, I am free
Wild and wide as I can be
Where the eagles always fly
Colorado, you and I.
