I guess hed rather be in Colorado Hed rather spend his time out where the sky looks like a pearl after the rain Once again to see him walkin Once again to hear him talkin To the stars he makes and askin them for bus fares I guess hed rather be in Colorado Hed rather play his banjo in the morning when the moon is scarcely gone In the dawn the subways comin In the dawn I hear him comin Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon Guess hed rather be in Colorado Guess hed rather be in Colorado Guess hed rather work out where the only thing you earn is what you spend In the end Im in his office In the end a quiet cough is all he has to show He lives in New York City
