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 subway's 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.

I guess he'd he rather be in Colorado.
