COLORADO

Someone in Colorado loves me
Read the letter that came today
10 years old, living up in Boulder
She was only 3 when she went away
Me and her Mama had a big old fight
She said, that’s enough, I’m going back home
She packed up her truck in the middle of the night
By the next morning, she was gone
No sad farewell, no goodbye kiss
Way too young to under stand
About Jealousy and mistrust between
A woman and a man
Many a time, I have begged her mama
Let’s give it one more try
A least for the sake of our little girl
But I’m still being denied
I got to see her once, when she turned ten
Her mama brought her to the city park
Gave her a big ole Teddy Bear
Two precious hours together is all we got
Making plans to move to Boulder
Maybe next year in the fall
Try to be a Daddy to my little girl
But I know, I can’t have it all
Someone in Colorado loves me
Someone in Colorado loves me
And that’s all that matters
