Late at night I lay in bed
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
Windin' my way back now just seems dumb
I get blue like Colorado
I hang down like those Rocky mountain skies
In the valley oh why do I go
Dreaming on the mountains I should climb
Sittin' still just wouldn't please me
So I made my way out easy
I was young when I stole the Raton Pass
Went up north and drifted west
Until some hillfolk call me Tex
I just prayed, "Lord, straighten out my path"
I get blue like Colorado
I hang down like those Rocky mountain skies
In the valley oh why do I go
Dreaming on the mountains I should climb
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
I get blue like Colorado
I hang down like those Rocky mountain skies
In the valley oh why do I go
Dreamin' on the mountains I should climb
Dreamin' on the mountains I should climb
