Lyrics
0:08Colorado Colorado
0:17When the world leaves you shivering
0:22And the blizzard blows
0:27When the snow flies and the night falls
0:35There's a light in the window and a place called home
0:45At the end of the storm
0:56One night on the mountain I was headed for Estes
1:00When the roads turned to ice and it started to snow
1:05Put on the chains in a whirl of white powder
1:10Half way up to Berthoud near a diner I know
1:14And the light burned inside shining down through the snowfall
1:20God it was cold and the temperature droppin'
1:24Went in for coffee and shivered as I drank it
1:29Warm in my hands in the steam as it rose
1:41Sitting there at the counter was a dark headed stranger
1:46Me and the owner and him keepin warm
1:51Nodded hello and I said it's a cold one
1:55Looks like there might be a blizzard tonight -
1:59And "yes" said the owner "
2:02There's a big storm on the mountain
2:05Good thing we're open we could be here for hours
2:09There's nothing for miles and it's too late to get to Denver
2:14Better not try for the summit tonight"
2:20And the snow fell
2:24And the night passed
2:28And I talked to the strangers
2:33While the blizzard blew
2:46Me and the stranger you know I don't talk to strangers
2:51I'm a private sort of person but a blizzard is a blizzard
2:55And somehow I found myself saying you'd left me
3:01Tellin' him everything I wanted to say to you
3:05You know how it is when you can talk to a stranger
3:10Someone your quite sure you'll never see again -
3:15Soon we were talkin' and laughin' and drinkin'
3:20He said "you must know you're too good for him"
3:26And the snow fell
3:29And the night passed
3:34And I talked to the stranger
3:38While the blizzard blew
3:51The stranger said "Love it can cry you a river -
3:56Me I'm a loner cause I can't take the heartache
4:00And sometimes I'm a fighter when I get too much whiskey -
4:05Here have a little whiskey pretend you don't give a damn -
4:10My cabin's up here on the side of the mountain
4:14You can go up there and sleep through the blizzard"
4:19I put on my parka said goodbye to the owner
4:24Followed the stranger through the snow up the mountainside
4:56Woke in the morning to the sun on the snow
5:00My car was buried in six feet of snow drifts
5:05They dug me out just the owner and the stranger
5:09Sent me on my way when the snowplow had been by
5:14And the roads were all clear and the sun on the mountains
5:20Sparkled like diamonds on the peak to peak highway -
5:24Then I knew that I would get over you knew you could leave me
5:31But you'd never break me
5:35Colorado Colorado
5:44When the world leaves you shivering
5:48And the blizzard blows
5:54When the snow flies and the night falls
6:02There's a light in the window and a place called home
6:13At the end of the storm
Colorado Colorado When the world leaves you shivering And the blizzard blows When the snow flies and the night falls There's a light in the window and a place called home At the end of the storm One night on the mountain I was headed for Estes When the roads turned to ice and it started to snow Put on the chains in a whirl of white powder Half way up to Berthoud near a diner I know And the light burned inside shining down through the snowfall God it was cold and the temperature droppin' Went in for coffee and shivered as I drank it Warm in my hands in the steam as it rose Sitting there at the counter was a dark headed stranger Me and the owner and him keepin warm Nodded hello and I said it's a cold one Looks like there might be a blizzard tonight - And "yes" said the owner " There's a big storm on the mountain Good thing we're open we could be here for hours There's nothing for miles and it's too late to get to Denver Better not try for the summit tonight" And the snow fell And the night passed And I talked to the strangers While the blizzard blew Me and the stranger you know I don't talk to strangers I'm a private sort of person but a blizzard is a blizzard And somehow I found myself saying you'd left me Tellin' him everything I wanted to say to you You know how it is when you can talk to a stranger Someone your quite sure you'll never see again - Soon we were talkin' and laughin' and drinkin' He said "you must know you're too good for him" And the snow fell And the night passed And I talked to the stranger While the blizzard blew The stranger said "Love it can cry you a river - Me I'm a loner cause I can't take the heartache And sometimes I'm a fighter when I get too much whiskey - Here have a little whiskey pretend you don't give a damn - My cabin's up here on the side of the mountain You can go up there and sleep through the blizzard" I put on my parka said goodbye to the owner Followed the stranger through the snow up the mountainside Woke in the morning to the sun on the snow My car was buried in six feet of snow drifts They dug me out just the owner and the stranger Sent me on my way when the snowplow had been by And the roads were all clear and the sun on the mountains Sparkled like diamonds on the peak to peak highway - Then I knew that I would get over you knew you could leave me But you'd never break me Colorado Colorado When the world leaves you shivering And the blizzard blows When the snow flies and the night falls There's a light in the window and a place called home At the end of the storm
