High on the top of the highest hill
Where the woods are dryand the wind is still you'll find me
Gazin' across a sea of pine I'm ready if I see a sign
Of risin' smoke scarlet flame play the forrest ranger game
Out where the Rocky Mountains are
With the telephones and the traffic far behind me

I got a gal in Denver town who says she wants to settle down and love me
But then she says she'd rather see me workin' in a factory
A pumpin' gas sellin' stock at home at night at five o'clock
I tell her I can't make that scene but then she says she's only thinking of me
Colorado Colorado

Now the rain is fallin' and the woods are wet
I tell myself I must forget about her
Why can't that woman realize it cost too much to comprise
A man's no good unless he's free and I must be what I must be
If all the love I have to give is not enough I'll learn to live without her
