The Road to Colorado City

Stuck in this place between heaven and earth
Stuck in this place searching for worth

Stuck in this place 'tween one state and another
home in this place with plenty of mother

We lift up our voices and herald our joy
there is quite enough women and not enough boy

The Road to Colorado city is straight and narrow
We'll find it my friends
We'll walk it together

The Road to Colorado city is tarry and black
We'll find it my friends
my sisters and brother

Stuck in this place, we sign up subscriptions
clean upright living is our healthy prescription.

Stuck in this place between earth and the sky
we sing out a humble voice as the eagle doth cry

The Road to Colorado city is walked on our knees
and we walk it, we walk it and do as we please.
