I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado

I guess he'd rather be in Colorado He'd rather spend his time out Where the sky looks like a pearl after a rain Once again I see him walkin Once again I hear him talking To the stars he makes And asking them for bus fare 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 subways comin' In the dawn I hear him hummin' 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 up in his office In the end a quiet cough Is all he has to show He lives in New York City
