about

Sharon: One spring, I was driving from home in WY to work in CA when my head gasket blew on my car. I spent a week in a small mountain town, waiting for the repair, camping out illegally above town. I had plenty of time to soak in the hot springs, and write songs. The timing of this song is in an 8 that is 3-3-2, and goes into a waltz.

lyrics

Driving down the road in my truck,
Keeping the shiny side up
I’m on my way back home
Drove into this mountain town
Snow softly falling down
Sitting here feeling so alone

I drove across Wyoming’s plains
Through the sheets of pouring rain
‘Til I hit the Rockies high
Shifting down to make the pass
And I’m stepping on the gas
Colorado hello and good-bye

Chorus:
But this town is not my home
I know must carry on
Mountains course through my veins
Pines whisper a song
You belong
You belong

I see the faces of my friends
But this time will surely end
‘cause I’m always moving on
Maybe I’ll stay for just a while
Oh, this place makes me smile
I feel like I could belong

Sunrise fills the eastern sky
Memories flood my mind
With gentle thoughts of him
Long past days and nights of love
Sleeping under stars above
I’m wishing I could see that face again
Chorus:

Road stretches long in front of me
For as long as I can see
As the fields roll on my
Days and nights they string along
As I drive and sing my song
Colorado hello and goodbye
