John Denver
I Guess He’d Rather Be in Colorado
[Verse 1]
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 talkin'
To the stars he makes and askin' them for bus fare
I 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 Colorado

[Verse 2]
I 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
