Goodbye Colorado lyrics

[Chorus]
Goodbye Colorado, goodbye Arizona
Goodbye Nevada, goodbye New Mexico
God bless the west, Texas, yes, you know I'll miss you so
So it's goodbye Colorado, boys, I'm headed home

[Verse 1]
It's been a long hard year
Who knows when it might end?
And this reign hangin' over us
Might break but it won't bend

[Chorus]
So it's goodbye Louisiana, goodbye Oklahoma
Goodbye Nebraska, goodbye Ohio
God bless the rest, Kansas, yes, you know I'll miss you so
So it's goodbye Louisiana, boys, I'm headed home

[Verse 2]
I made my home in these ancient lands
Yearning to breathe free
Tempest tossed by the mother of exiles
Now I take my leave

[Chorus]
So it's goodbye Colorado, goodbye Arizona
Goodbye Montana, goodbye sweet Idaho
God bless the west, Texas, yes, you know I'll miss you so
So it's goodbye Colorado
Boys, I'm headed home
