By the end of the year I'll be Denver bound
And lord, I cannot wait
I'm not meant to stay here, I could use a new start
And I hope it's not too late
I don't wanna waste these years of youth
And I got myself a plan that I believe to be bullet-proof
I don't wanna trade my soul for pay
All the cash I'll ever earn won't buy me back one single day
I will cut my ties
There'll be no more sighs
There'll be no more shaking my fist at the skies
Colorado,
I'm gonna finally make you mine

On the first day of spring, I'll be driving south
With not a worldly thing
I've been held up too long, oh I need to get out
And there's nothing here I'd bring
I just want to start anew
Yeah I got myself a settled mind and a bigger dream to pursue
I have finished writing up excuses
After burning all those pages
I am finally gonna do this
I will leave this town
I will ramble 'round
I may never ever settle down
Carolina,
You're gonna finally see me smile

Well a couple years back, thought I knew it all
And no one told me wrong
I was king of my world but I listened not
To the voice of the wind's song
'Cause there's a language that the world speaks to its patrons
And it tells us just where and when to go
So if we put our ears and hearts up to the wind
We will find all the answers in our souls
I may go east
I may go west
But I know I'll be walkin' on the trail
California,
I'll meet you if the breeze takes me there
