Colorado Days
Her wedding dress was stitched with hope
It was precisely measured
He would be her anchor
She would be his treasure
Now her dress lies crumpled on the closet floor
And she don’t even care
She thinks about walking out that door
And wonders what she’s waiting for
He’s got to be crazy
To think she’d want to stay there now
Colorado days are gone
Looks like it’s time to move
She’s on the far side of the bed when he gets home
From another boys’ night out
She should have listened to what her mother said
She should have listened to her doubts
He reaches over for her shoulder
And she pulls away
One lonely night too many
And there’s nothing left to say
He’s got to be crazy
To think she’d want to stay there now
Colorado days are gone
Looks like it’s time to move
Something once beautiful
Within her died that night
And he would never make it right
He could never make it right
Now her wedding dress hangs on a second hand rack
And he’s with someone new
She’s got no need for looking back
At the heartache that once kept her trapped
She’s found her voice, it’s loud and strong
She’s writing her own song
He had to be crazy
To think she’d want to stay with him now
Colorado days are gone
Looks like it’s time to move on
He had to be crazy
To think she’d want to stay with him now
Colorado days are gone
Looks like it’s time to move
It’s time to move on
(She’s gonna be, she’s gonna be,
she’s gonna be, she’s gonna be,
she’s gonna be, she’s gonna be,
she’s gonna be, she’s gonna be…)
Alright…
Yeah, she’s gonna be okay
