News from Colorado

[Verse 1]

Sunlight slipped right through the blinds I'd carefully pulled down

Drive me from my dreaming and I woke up on the ground

The phone's ringing by my head, just like I knew it would

News from Colorado's never good

[Verse 2]

My brother stole another car, they're holding him downtown

Sister's telling everyone he's in the army now

Mama only says the things that Daddy say she should

News from Colorado's never good

[Bridge]

How'd it get so far away? It seemed like only yesterday

I took my first few steps out on my own

Look at me in the mirror now, I see a thousand miles

And somehow Colorado doesn't feel like home

[Verse 3]

There ain't no way to go back even if I wanted to

It'd only be a waste of time and there's nothing I can do

Breaks my heart, but somehow I have always understood

News from Colorado's never good

[Outro]
