John Denver

I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
He'd rather spend his time out where the sky looks like a pearl after a rain
Once again I see him walking once again I hear him talking
To the stars he makes and asking them for busfare

I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
He'd rather play his banjo in the morning when the moon is scarcely gone
In the dawn the subway's coming in the dawn I hear him humming
Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
[ ac.guitar ]
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
I guess he'd rather work out where the only thing you earn is what you spend
In the end up in his office
In the end a quiet cough is all he has to show he lives in New York City
