COLORADO CALLING ME
(Jim McReynolds / Jesse McReynolds)

Jim & Jesse - 1980



All the way from sunny California
Back to the hills of Tennessee
Seems that no matter where I wander
I hear you Colorado calling me
I hear you Colorado calling me

I was born and raised in Colorado
But one day I told my folks goodbye
Sure do miss that good old mountain water
Flowing from the Rocky Mountains high
In Colorado

All the way from sunny California
Back to the hills of Tennessee
Seems that no matter where I wander
I hear you Colorado calling me
I hear you Colorado calling me

A letter from my Mama out in Denver
Said "My son, when are you coming home?
It'll be three years now in December
That's a mighty long time to be gone"

I've crossed the Golden Gate in San Francisco
Crossed the desert and the Texas plains
Seen the beauty of the Smokey Mountains
But tomorrow I'll be heading West again
To Coloroda

All the way from sunny California
Back to the hills of Tennessee
Seems that no matter where I wander
I hear you Colorado calling me
I hear you Colorado calling me

Calling me, calling me, calling me
Calling me, calling me, calling me
Calling me, calling me, calling me
Calling me, calling me .......FADE
