Lyrics

[Verse 1] Late at night, I lay in bed And run the roads inside my head Trying to return to where I'm from Lying on my crooked back I look back on my crooked path Winding my way back now just seems dark [Chorus] I get blue like Colorado I hang down like those Rocky Mountain skies In the Valley of Why Do I Go Dreamin' of the mountains I should climb [Verse 2] Sittin' still just wouldn't please me So I made my way out easy I was young when I stole the Ratón Pass Went up north and drifted west Until some hill folk called me Tex I just prayed the Lord would straighten out my path [Chorus] I get blue like Colorado I hang down like thosе Rocky Mountain skies In the Valley of Why Do I Go Drеamin' of the mountains I should climb [Bridge] Lift your eyes up to the hills Pray the Lord your soul to keep So afraid he never will Born a stray, just out of reach Oh, Lord Oh, Lord, come and find me [Chorus] I get blue like Colorado I hang down like those Rocky Mountain skies In the Valley of Why Do I Go Dreamin' of the mountains I should climb [Outro] Dreamin' of the mountains I should climb
