I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado

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 walkin'

Once again I hear him talking to the stars, he makes

And asking them for bus fare

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 subways comin'

In the dawn, I hear him hummin'

Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon

I guess he'd rather be in Colorado

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
