Mando Saenz Colorado lyrics

COLORADO IS A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
COLORADO IS A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
I'M GONNA GO, JUST ONE MORE TIME
WHAT'S YOURS IS YOURS, WHAT'S MINE IS MINE
BUT FOR THEM ITS GONNA BE A HEAVY PRICE TO PAY

I GOT THIS HORSE DOWN IN OLD MEXICO
I GOT THIS HORSE DOWN IN OLD MEXICO
THROUGH THE DARKNESS IN HER EYES SHE CAN SEE IT'S HER LAST RIDE
CAUSE SHE'S TOO OLD AND SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S IN FOR

MY MOMMA HELD A BABY IN HER ARMS
MY MOMMA HELD A BABY IN HER ARMS
BUT THE BABY GREW UP MEAN
BY THE TIME A MAN TRIED TO ROB HER CLEAN
SO HE SHOT HIM DEAD IN THE DUSTY HILLS OF ARKANSAS

NOW THE WINDS GETTING COLDER BY THE DAY
NOW THE WINDS GETTING COLDER BY THE DAY
PRETTY SOON IT WILL BLOW WITH SPEED
LOOKING TO TAKE WHAT'S LEFT OF ME
BUT MY PEACE OF MIND IS GONNA HELP THE BLOOD FLOW THROUGH MY VEINS


NOW I HAVEN'T SHOT A MAN SINCE EIGHTY-FIVE
NOW I HAVEN'T SHOT A MAN SINCE EIGHTY-FIVE
I SHOT HIM FROM THE BUCKLE ON HIS BOOT
TO THE SWEAT ON HIS FRONT TOOTH
TO HIS STRAW HAT WITH NOTHING LEFT INSIDE.

MY SWEETIE HOLDS A BABY IN HER ARMS
MY SWEETIE HOLDS A BABY IN HER ARMS
SHE GOT ANOTHER ON THE WAY
NEVER TOOK TO MIND WHAT HER DADDY SAID
NOW SHE KNEELS TO PRAY FOR DADDY TO MAKE IT HOME ALIVE

COLORADO IS A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
COLORADO IS A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
GONNA GO JUST ONE MORE TIME
WHAT'S YOURS IS YOURS, WHAT'S MINE IS MINE
BUT FOR THEM IT'S GONNA BE A HEAVY PRICE TO PAY
