Colorado Soldier - The Other Favorites

Colorado soldier, put down your dukes

There’s nothing 'round here but deer and the breeze to shoot

You took down your daddy’s lasso to hang the moon

Now you’re skipping on rent 'cause you can’t afford the room

Polish your boots, boy, step in time

We’re heading out west toward the county line

Gonna bury that box of ashes in the ground

I feel a sudden change coming around

You should call your mama up sometime

Excuses running thin as turpentine

Maybe today it’s better just to roam

Cheap sunglasses, Sunday morning stoned

Polish your boots, boy, step in time

We’re heading out west toward the county line

Gonna bury that box of ashes in the ground

Snakes on the roadside, vultures in the sky

They lay in wait for a man to die

But it ain’t too late to leave this highway town

I feel a sudden change coming around
