[Verse 1]
Colorado was so nice, but I'm Minnesota's son
Even when the cold winds blow in the darkness and the light
And the young folks search for meaning here and the old folks know there's none
Out your window you can see the world, babe, it's turning, and it's gone
[Chorus]
And the stars at night
Why do they make you cry?
Don't you think that I'll be coming home?
[Verse 2]
Well it's not like sunny Monterey in all the Steinbeck books you read
Where the hobos know the secrets and the law just turns their head
Where we are is close to paradise and though you might not hear it said
And the Methodists all bring a dish to share with the ashes on their head
[Chorus]
And when the sun's in the sky
We'll have a class outside
Why do you think that I can be so cold?
[Bridge]
I'm not scared of much here anymore
Wait, friends, that was a lie
Cause I'm scared to death of losing you
To be alone, high and dry
[Chorus]
And I know you worry
About time and money
But don't you know those things
They come and go?
[Instrumental Outro]
