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.

    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.
