COLORADO by The Flying Burrito Brothers. From the album “The Flying Burrito Brothers” (1971) All the scenery is from the state of Colorado, from the rocky mountains to the eastern plains to the wonderful capital city of Denver.
Makes me think of my brother…. *sigh*….missin’ him
Cool, Montana is better.
Rick , Ilove you BRO ,hang in there , TOMMY
Nice track. The Burritos and Gene Clark are making me like country-western.
found it! another rare beauty,
love this song,
thanks for posting it
I too wanna come home.
LHS Lions ’79
I’m praying for Rick hope he is well. we can’t afford to lose another one.
Man, I remember this song. Had the album when it came out. Colorado native. Here I now sit in southeastern Arizona for 8 years now…I wanna come home.
Don’t ever become a music critic for a living. You’ll starve to death.
I’m here in the Springs again. Moved here in ’72 and for as much as it’s grown… it’s still Colorado, God’s Country. I will never again move somewhere else. Lot’s of great pictures of my home, Colorado Springs and of where I worked downtown Denver (in that picture) next to the 1st Interstate Bank building (UMB Bank building). I can be poor and happy in this state than be rich and unhappy in other states.
I love Colorado for good or bad…
When you find that time machine, dial me in on the way…. spent a summer in Boulder back in – could it have really been 71? Saw the Burrito Bros do this live in 74 and had to hold back the tears…been humming this tune ever since….. Thanks Rick for bringing it all together…. don’t forget me on the way back…..
i will pay anyone $10,000,000 for a working time machine (trust me, i’m good for it). i wanna go back to then and there. dam song hurts someplace inside of me. such a sweet pain. thank you.
Sweet Burrito Album, Chris Hillman pulled it together,- again. Rick Roberts stay well…

Love this song. Hard to find. Thanks for the video.
I was going to post this, but you beat me to it. I did post Linda Ronstadt’s cover of this great song several days ago.
Great Song, hard to find on CD. I have the vinyl of this. And I am a native coloradan {however you say or spell that} and would never want to leave! Great Video!!
