I park the car by the river
One of our rivers
Of course this song would come on
I let it play by the river
As I wade way into the river
Just to stand up neck deep boots and all
With the current crashing past me lashing
Both arms red and raw
But all the rivers in Colorado couldn't wash you off of my mind
Not that I'm tryin', just a thought though
Might be nice to keep from crying
Like all the rivers in Colorado
You would float down in my arms
Now you're gone and though they know that
These stupid arms still hope to hold back
All the rivers in Colorado
Still the night river
Still the white river
Still the silver swordplay in the sun
Still the crystal blue clear, muddy root beer-colored rivers run
But all the rivers in Colorado couldn't wash you off of my mind
Not that I'm tryin', just a thought though
Might be nice to keep from crying
Like all the rivers in Colorado
You would float down in my arms
Now you're gone and though they know that
These stupid arms still hope to hold back
All the rivers in Colorado
John is on the radio
But I'm at an all time Rocky Mountain low
All the rivers in Colorado couldn't wash you off of my mind
Not that I'm tryin', just a thought though
Might be nice to keep from crying
Like all the rivers in Colorado
You would float down in my arms
Now you're gone, I get it though
I've got to learn to let it go like
All the rivers in Colorado
