I'm going back to the Colorado rocky mountains
Going back to see my girl
And if she's gone, I know I'll find her
She's the only one I love
I'm gonna hop a freight train just to get to Colorado
I've been away far too long
When I get home
I'll see my mother, father, brother, sister too
And way up high
You can see the eagle fly
The snow-capped mountains
Reaching to the sky
I'm going back to the Colorado rocky mountains
Lonely country that I love
Far away from city street lights
And the stars shine bright above
And way up high
You can see the eagle fly
The snow-capped mountains
Reaching to the sky
That's why I'm going back to the Colorado rocky mountains
Back to the country that I love
