Makin' my way downtown
East on church at 9pm
When I saw you
Makin' your way downtown
In a dirt stained chevy colorado
Told me she ain't from around
Grew up near Boulder
And been there since
Like they all do
But something was different about her
Cause somehow I'm rooting for the Broncos
Colorado had everything you wanted
But we all grow, and if you're being honest it was
Almost, but not quite perfect
To call home, so call home and tell 'em that
You might miss the mountains girl and all the little things
The place that you called, the friends that told you not to leave
If it's getting rocky come to Rocky Top with me
See as far as I can see
Cause as far as I can see
Your hometown's good for growing up,
Denver's good for growing weed
But love don't grow on trees
So girl, plant your Roots In Tennessee
Girl I see you
Down at CU
Working on that dance degree
But I think you might not need to
Cause the way you're dancing on me
Makes me want to wife you up
Really not the type to cuff
But you're giving me reasons
To give you a reason to stay
Colorado had everything you wanted
But we all grow, and if you're being honest it was
Almost, but not quite perfect
To call home, so call home and tell 'em that
You might miss the mountains girl and all the little things
The place that you called, the friends that told you not to leave
If it's getting rocky come to Rocky Top with me
See as far as I can see
Cause as far as I can see
Your hometown's good for growing up,
Denver's good for growing weed
But love don't grow on trees
So girl, plant your Roots In Tennessee
