Down by the river the midnight moon, hangs on honey the way I do
But it burns out like I know you want for me
And I don't blame you that much now, I guess I've come to grips with what went down
And I've done my best to tell myself I'm free
I've been thinking bout them Colorado Women
Maybe by now I'm forgiven
I'm not sure what I'd give them, but I'd try
But I'm not sure that'd get you off my mind
First I tried to fill your void with a girl I knew back in Illinios
But she wanted something more abstract than me
That led me to another source of pain, she called me by my full first name
But something in her eyes I couldn't see
The Colorado Women
Maybe by now I'm forgiven
I'm not sure what I'd give them, but I'd try
But I'm not sure that'd get you off my mind
You said the West would leave me charred, and I ended up in this hotel bar
Just trying to drink your memory off my tongue
There's a couple ways to heal a heart, you can let it bleed until it scars
Or you can hold it in the cold until it's numb
The Colorado Women
Maybe by now I'm forgiven
I'm not sure what I'd give them, but I'd try
But I'm not sure that'd get you off my mind
The corner store in Boulder
And the things I could told her
Did she have the light you swore I'd never find?
But I'm not sure I'd get you, no I'm not sure I'd get you
I'm not sure I'd get you off my mind
