Charlie Vavra - Ports of Boulder Lyrics

Mountain ladies always wear long dresses
Mountain men they always wear long hair
So I'll give to you my scissors, honey
Please learn how to sew
Then I'll move out to Boulder
We'll both move out to Boulder
We'll all move out to Boulder, Co-lo-rad-o
Co-lo-rad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee, daddy-o

And if you play the guitar
I hear that you can go awful far
You can sit and strum and pick that thing all day
So let's supplicate the Lord
To help me learn a couple chords
Then I'll move out to Boulder
We'll both move out to Boulder
We'll all move out to Boulder, Co-lo-rad-o
Co-lo-rad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee, daddy-o

And if we want a degree
We'll join the university
It's a great place to party anyway
So we'll borrow daddy's car
Spend his money at the bars
When I move out to Boulder
We both move out to Boulder
When we all move out to Boulder, Co-lo-rad-o
Co-lo-rad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee, daddy-o

Now I had a dream
That almost brought me tears
That all the people in the world
Decided to move out here
And the saddest thing about it
Was they all came out to stay
So the mountains got together
Packed their things and moved away

And when snow falls on the trees
We'll both get out our skis
And model our winter wardrobe on the slopes
And if we tire of the snow
We'll put that white stuff up our nose
When I move out to Boulder
We both move out to Boulder
When we all move out to Boulder, Co-lo-rad-o
Co-lo-rad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee, daddy-o
And if esoteric cults
Are what we wish to consult
We'll be blessed forever and a day
We'll get in yoga poses
Act like Buddha, Christ and Moses
When I move out to Boulder
We both move out to Boulder
When we all move out to Boulder, Co-lo-rad-o
Co-lo-rad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee, daddy-o
We don't look look quite good enough
To fit in very well
(If there're places left to fit into at all)
But we'll buy ourselves new faces
Ah, to hell with open spaces
When I move out to Boulder
We both move out to Boulder
When we all move out to Boulder, Co-lo-rad-o
Co-lo-rad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee, daddy-o

Joggers run a losing race
Against polluted air
Will fallout be the downfall of us all
In our dreams and quiet pauses
Hope we die of natural causes
When I move out to Boulder
We both move out to Boulder
When we all move out to Boulder, Co-lo-rad-o
Co-lo-rad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee-ad-ee, daddy-o
Now I had a dream
That almost brought me tears
That all the people in the world
Decided to move out here
And the saddest thing about it
Was they all came out to stay
So the mountains got together
Packed their things and moved away
