Always Colorado Lyrics by Peytan Porter

I blew through the Midwest just like stormy weather
Searching for some air where I could breathe
Broke down in a postcard town just north of Denver
Guess you can’t outrun someone who’s evergreen

And I see you in the dark just like the stars up in the sky
Even though there’s nothing colder than the way we said goodbye

There’s always Colorado if you get tired of Tennessee
Hop a plane, hop a train, hop a westbound Greyhound if you ever think of me
It’s a long shot, baby, I know you got better things to do
And I’m wasting my time praying you’ll change your mind after what I put us through
But I’ll leave a light on just in case
And if you never move on, there’s always Colorado
Oh, Colorado

Bet by now the first of all the leaves are changing
And falling off the tree in your front yard
I bet the friend group’s made some weekend plans and you’re pre-gaming
Playing Motown on your way out to the bar

And I know there’s nothing better than October in the South
And I gave you every reason not to wanna chase me down

But there’s always Colorado if you get tired of Tennessee
Hop a plane, hop a train, hop a westbound Greyhound if you ever think of me
It’s a long shot, baby, I know you got better things to do
And I’m wasting my time praying you’ll change your mind after what I put us through
But I’ll leave a light on just in case
And if you never move on, there’s always Colorado
Oh, Colorado

There’s always Colorado if I’m ever on your mind
No matter where the wind blows, you’re always on mine
I’ll meet you in the Smokies, leave my Rocky Mountain high
I’ll hop a plane, hop a train if you call my name tonight
‘Cause there’s always Colorado

Yeah, there’s always Colorado if you get tired of Tennessee
Hop a plane, hop a train, hop a westbound Greyhound if you ever think of me
It’s a long shot, baby, I know you got better things to do
And I’m wasting my time praying you’ll change your mind after what I put us through
But I’ll leave a light on just in case
And if you never move on, there’s always Colorado
Oh, Colorado
