Navigate the back roads Singing songs about the old days Thinking of our home Until the silence breaks We find peace within the mountains In the water at our feet Knowing in our souls It’s something we can’t keep Let me spend another day in Colorado Let the mountains sing a song And drown my sorrow Let the beating of my heart Free your hollow Let me weep, let me lose hope But don’t let me leave the road The tree’s a shade of green That I’ve never seen Oh, sleeping in the stable Lay your head on me We stay up until the morning Afraid of growing old Playing songs that tell of heartache And not doing what we’re told Let me take another swim in the Mississippi Let my mother dry her tears Because she’ll miss me Let the beating of my heart Fill the backseat Let me weep, let me lose hope But don’t let me leave the road Let me spend another day in Colorado Let the mountains sing a song And drown my sorrow Let the beating of my heart Free your hollow Let me weep, let me lose hope But don’t let me leave the road
