From the recording Colorado
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I had a friend who constantly compared New York (unfavorably) to other places he'd lived. New York was so expensive, it was so hard to make friends, life had been so much easier in the other places. It was clear he was living in the past, nostalgic for a time and place that was long gone, and I got tired of hearing about it.</span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Don’t want to hear ‘bout Colorado</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">About the Rockies & the pines</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">You liked ‘em better in the rearview</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">But now they’re all that’s on your mind, so...</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Get on back to Colorado</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Get on back, clean up your mess</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Get on back, remake the movie of your life</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">But they tore the set down when you left.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Don’t want to hear ‘bout Austin, Texas</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">And all the ladies that you knew</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">‘Cause I can feel them all around us</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">When I want to be alone with you, so...</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Get on back to Austin Texas</span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> Well, I love my New York City, but if you don’t</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I truly understand.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I’ll help you load the truck, I’ll even pack your lunch.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Go west young man!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Don’t want to hear about that year in LA,</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">The endless summer turned you brown</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">You say the winters here are killers</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Well babe, that’s why the birds don’t stick around, so...</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Get on back to California</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Get on back, clean up your mess</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Get on back, remake the movie of your life</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">But they tore the set down, they tore the set down when you left.</span></strong></p>
