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 fareI 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 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 ColoradoI 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
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
