Colorado Songtext
von Baccara

I was only seventeen
Just a small-town beauty queen
When a handsome guy went and caught my eye
Such a sight to see
He said, "Such a pretty face
Oh, to see a far-off place
A place where eagles fly, where mountains touch the sky
A place so wild and free"

Oh-ho, oh, Colorado
You caught me messing with a desperado
My mama told me I was crazy to go
When you′re in love, you're such a fool
Don′t you know?
Oh-ho, oh, Colorado
I give my life away with nothing to show
And now I'm living with a man and a gun
I'm just a fool on the run


All the pretty things he said
Took my heart, went to my head
But those soft guitars, the nights beneath the stars
Were all fantasy
He had such a wanted face
Wanted in most every place
I′m nothing in his hands, this devil northern man
Does what he likes with me


Oh-ho, oh, Colorado
You caught me messing with a desperado
My mama told me I was crazy to go
When you′re in love, you're such a fool
Don′t you know?
Oh-ho, oh, Colorado
I give my life away with nothing to show
And now I'm living with a man and a gun
I′m just a fool on the run
Oh-ho, oh, Colorado
You caught me messing with a desperado
My mama told me I was crazy to go
When you're in love, you′re such a fool
Don't you know?
Oh-ho, oh, Colorado
I give my life away with nothing to show
And now I'm living with a man and a gun
I′m just a fool on the run
Oh-ho, oh, Colorado
You caught me messing with a desperado
My mama told me I was crazy to go
When you′re in love, you're such a fool
Don′t you know?
Oh-ho, oh, Colorado
I give my life away with nothing to show
And now I'm living with a man and a gun
I′m just a fool on the run
