Silver Roads

I met a girl in Boulder She wore flowers in her hair Said the world moves way too quickly For people who still care We drank wine beside the river Watched the moonlight drift downstream She said, “Life ain’t what you planned, boy… It’s mostly what you dream.” Chorus And those silver roads and Colorado skies Make a man start thinkin’ ‘bout his life How fast it goes And where love goes And why goodbye still hurts sometimes But the stars don’t care They just shine all night Over old campfires and lullabies And I swear I hear Heaven sigh In those Colorado skies Aspen leaves were shiverin’ Like coins in the evenin’ breeze And somewhere up above me God was whisperin’ through the trees The radio was plain’ soft Some old-song about home I was drivin’ through the mountains Tryin’ not to think alone Chorus And those silver roads and Colorado skies Make a man start thinkin’ ‘bout his life About old mistakes And hearts that break And songs you never sang right But the wind still blows Through the midnight pines Like an old John Denver line And I swear I hear Heaven sigh In those Colorado skies Bridge And maybe we’re all just travelers Tryin’ to find our way back home Somewhere between the smokey bars And the places we roam Now I’m older than I used to be But younger than my fears Still chasin’ little pieces Of the best of all these years And tonight the mountains hold me Like they always somehow do With a guitar and a memory And a sky so deep and blue Final Chorus Oh those silver roads and Colorado skies Still make me feel so alive Like there’s hope somewhere Still floatin’ in the air Like an eagle ridin’ high And the world slows down When the moonlight shines On these Rocky Mountain nights And I swear I hear Heaven sigh In those Colorado skies Yeah… I swear I hear Heaven sigh In those Colorado skies…
