lyrics

Rolling out of Leadville the rain was hitting hard
Blinded by the headlights on Highway 24
The road it shone like silver and a song from long ago came to mind
And I sang Heart of Gold
Then the sun it hit the mountain and took my breath away
Shadows in the canyon, the rolling hills and plains
I stopped to write these words down beside the railroad line
And I saw a big bird circle in the blackened sky
Western winds blow me back, back like dust across the range
Miles and miles from anywhere back to Colorado Days
I left you in the morning the pain was hitting hard
Another days’ horizon, another brand new start
The road it rolled like thunder long and far from you
As the memories in the mirror faded out of view
Some places they will pull you, make you never want to leave
Make you push your car into the river and throw away the keys
Fire on the mountain at the ending of the day
Peace in my mind and good old country ways
Western winds blow me back, back like dust across the range
Miles and miles from anywhere back to Colorado Days
