This song is about traveling to Colorado and back with my kids. We
camped along the way with my friend and her kids, and when we got to
Colorado we stayed in a huge beautiful house in the mountains with 20+
of my old friends and their families.
Colorado and Back Audio
In a KOA campground, in Goodland, Kansas
Last town before Colorado
Not as dark as you’d think
In a cheap tent from Walmart
Under the covers and hundreds of stars
Chorus:
That’s when I knew
If I didn’t already
Know that I love you
I always knew you’d love me
I never wondered
Some things just turn out the way they should be
Colorado is calling
For the end to this flatness
Even the pioneers knew
This flatland couldn’t go on forever
But I’m in no hurry
Cuz I’m here with you
And we can ride on 70 West
Til it’s not fun anymore
Chorus: That’s how I knew…
Throw up the tent
When the spirit moves us
It won’t matter where or when or how
Because I’m with you
We stopped for ice cream, and fireworks
Right on the border
We stopped to walk but it turned
Into a climb
Chorus: That’s when it hit me...
Packed up the tent real quick
Cuz it started to spit
Got back on the road to Colorado
In a houseful of best friends
You’re still my favorite
I would wander the perfect mansion
Discontent until I found you
It was near midnight
In Salina, Kansas
When we gave up and stopped at a Holiday Inn
And your sleepy eyes lit up
Chorus: That’s when it hit me…
