No band, just me and I'm no performer
Story behind the song
A friend of ours moved to Colorado chasing a woman. They broke up, she got married but he stayed there. The rest is all my imagination.
This would be for a male vocal.
Lyrics
THANK YOU COLORADO
Drove to Colorado for a woman
But stayed in spite of her
She moved on when she married
I didn’t go anywhere
So thank you Colorado
What hasn’t killed me yet
Might leave me standing
Turned the right way ’round
So thank you Colorado
I could lie and say we’re friends
It’s true we’ll nod and smile
Deep inside it hurt
My ego ached for a while
So thank you Colorado
What hasn’t killed me yet
Might leave me standing
Turned the right way ’round
So thank you Colorado
Love these open spaces
But there are other places
No sense hanging on
Once the spark is gone
So thank you Colorado
Showed me who I’m not
First you built me up
Then you tore me down
You’re just like that woman
What hasn’t killed me yet
Might leave me standing
Turned the right way ’round
So thank you Colorado
Thank you Colorado
Thank you Colorado
