(INTRO LEAD 4 BARS)

(VERSE)
Pop the top on a soda bottle,
She belongs in Colorado,
I let her go,
I got a way back home

Hit the gas, make it open throttle,
Made the pass in El Dorado,
I let it go,
That's some heavy gold

(PRECHORUS)
I'd love her if she let me, left New York just to forget me,
Never would have bet she'd be the one I can't forget
I'm holding on,
Not for long,
Maybe for another song,

(CHORUS)
If I could, then I would
I would never let it go,
Told her I, couldn't lie,
She's the best damn thing I know,
If I came to Carolina, California, Alabama,
Paid her mind, did the time,
Maybe she would call me home,

(VERSE)

I'd love her if she let me, left New York just to forget me,
Never would have bet she'd be the one I can't forget
I'm holding on,
Not for long,
Maybe for another song,

Oooooh yeah.

(PRECHORUS)
I'd love her if she let me, left New York just to forget me,
Never would have bet she'd be the one I can't forget
I'm holding on,
Not for long,
Maybe for another song,

Got away back home
