Lyrics
They say it's snowing up in Boulder, I guess that winter's on the way. And every night keeps getting colder, now we've nothing left to say. I think i'll go to California, they say there's money to be made. But i ain't getting any younger, and it's too late for me to change. They say the stars shine bright in boulder.
They say the mountains guide your way. We've had some time to think things over, perhaps it's meant to end this way. Chorus: And if it's really over, then that's what you should say. And i'll go back to Boulder, to spend my days, back in Boulder. They say the spirits live in Boulder, and one day soon they'll set us free. They say that love shouldn't knock you over, perhaps you've never loved like me. They say the stars shine bright in boulder. They say the mountains guide your way. We've had some time to think things over, perhaps it's meant to end this way. And if it's really over, then that's what you should say. And i'll go back to Boulder, to spend my days, back in Boulder.
