Colorado’s Peaks and Prairie Tales

A Ballad of Rocky Heights and Western Skies...

A heartfelt country-folk ballad capturing the essence of Colorado — its mountains, plains, and wild frontier soul.

LYRIC:

In the heart of the Rockies, beneath snow-capped peaks,

By the river's flow, feel that cold touch on my cheeks,

Red rocks stand silent, where the world holds its breath,

And the Grand Canyon calls me, says it's time to begin.

Colorado, oh Colorado, land of dreams and skies so wide,

Underneath your stars, feelin' free like I can glide,

Right here in nature's arms, where the world just fades away,

I'm livin' wild and free, every night and every day.

Mesa Verde whispers tales from way back when,

Big ol' sand dunes rollin', carried by the wind,

The night's so still, stars brighter than you've ever seen,

Colorado, you're a dream, like a sight from a magazine.

Colorado, oh Colorado, land of dreams and skies so wide,

Underneath your stars, feelin' free like I can glide,

Right here in nature's arms, where the world just fades away,

I'm livin' wild and free, every night and every day.

Fightin' that big fish, feel the power of the land,

Watch them mountains fade out, driftin' through the sand,

Every road I take leads me to a brand new dawn,

Colorado nights, yeah, I know where I belong.

Colorado, oh Colorado, land of dreams and skies so wide,

Underneath your stars, feelin' free like I can glide,

Right here in nature's arms, where the world just fades away,

I'm livin' wild and free, every night and every day.
