My sun rose in a small town

Where I grew up way too fast

And some beach became my college yearsBefore it became my past

And California′s where I learned to dream

But it never felt like home

It took a whole lot of miles

To find the place where I belong

So won't you come out here with me

And chase this rocky mountain freedom

Let that mile high air you breathe in

Wind you where the river rolls

Yeah, we′re born where we're born

But I feel it deep down in my bones

My heart beats in Tennessee

But my sun sets in Colorado

I've danced beside the ocean

Got my blue jeans wet at high tide

My hands have reached for Heaven

From a New York City skyline

Oh, but nothing else compares

To the stardust on the snow caps

It′s the kind of place you leave

Then you can′t wait to go back

So won't you come out here with me

And chase this rocky mountain freedom

Let that mile high air you breathe in

Wind you where the river rolls

Yeah, we′re born where we're born

But I feel it deep down in my bones

My heart beats in Tennessee

But my sun sets in Colorado

Colorado

Come on

Sing an old new grass song with me

Telluride along with me

Let′s show 'em all just how to be

Footloose and wildflower free

Won′t you come out here with me

And chase this rocky mountain freedom

Let that mile high air you breathe in

Wind you where the river rolls

Yeah,we're born where we're born

But I feel it deep down in my bones

My heart beats in Tennessee

But my sun sets in Colorado

Colorado
