I Guess He'd Rather Be In Colorado

Lyricist: John Denver     Composer: John Denver

I guess he'd rather be in colorado
He'd rather spend his time out where the sky looks like a pearl after the rain
Once again to see him walkin'
Once again to hear him talkin'
To the stars he makes and askin' them for bus fares

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 comin'
Some old song he wrote of love in boulder canyon
I guess he'd rather be in colorado

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 I'm in his office
In the end a quiet cough is all he has to show
He lives in new york city
