Lyrics
I used to wake up in the night
When I left my hometown
Feeling like my soul was lost
I knew it'd be an uphill fight
With a chance that I might drown
But I never knew just what it might cost
'Til I started that fall down
I got a Colorado feeling on a roof in Hollywood
My voice bounced off the traffic like I never thought it could
I was scared my heart might change on me but it's plated in those woods
I got a Colorado feeling on a roof in Hollywood
Now the lights can be the stars for me for just a while 'til I get back
The cars drivin' by can be the wind
On the roof I can see just as far
I close my eyes, lay my head back
Knowing that my heart is mine again
It may get dark but never black
I got a Colorado feeling...
I know I'm not the same man I used to be
But I brought with me the strength to face what's new to me
I got a Colorado feeling..
