Colorado Bound Lyrics

Townes Van Zandt Colorado Bound

Well it's a mighty lonesome feelin' F C listenin' to the wind a-howlin' F C C/b Am watchin' raindrops come a-fallin' D7 G(7) to the pavement outside your door

C F C It's a fool I am for waitin' F C for the sound of your returnin' F C C/b Am for the sound of gentle breathin' G7 C footsteps 'cross the floor

F G C

Well I can't remain no longer I'm headed out to Colorado When the sun brings in the mornin' I'll be leavin' on my way

Well the grass is growin' green there a warm winds rollin' down the mountain down inside some lonesome canyon that's where I mean to stay

If you ever come to Denver mama please don't try to find me all you do is just remind me of the way you let me down

Well dreams they're easily shattered but ya got to go on livin' maybe that's the reason I'm Colorado bound
