News From Colorado Songtext
von Steve Earle & the Dukes

Sunlight slipped right through the blinds I′d carefully pulled down
Dragged me from my dreaming and I woke up on the ground
The phone was ringing by my head just like I knew it would
News from Colorado's never good

My brother stole another car, they′re holding him downtown
Sister's telling everyone he's in the army now
Mama only says the things that Daddy says she should
News from Colorado′s never good


How′d it get so far away? It seemed like only yesterday
I took my first few steps out on my own
Looking in the mirror now, I see a thousand miles
And somehow Colorado doesn't feel like home

Well, there ain′t no way to go back even if I wanted to
It'd only be a waste of time and there′s nothing I can do
It breaks my heart, but somehow I have always understood
News from Colorado's never good
