I Guess He’d Rather Be in Colorado

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I guess he'd rather be in Colorado He'd rather spend his time out where the sky looks like a pearl after the rain Once again I see him walkin', once again I hear him talkin' To the stars he makes and askin' them the bus fare [Verse 2] I guess he'd rather be in Colorado He'd rather play his banjo in the mornin' when the moon is scarcely gone In the dawn the subway's 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 [Verse 3] 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
