Little Town Tour

album: Higher Ground - Songs of Colorado (2007), track 4 of 13
author: Chuck Pyle
publisher: Bee 'n' Flower Music BMI

The soul of Colorado's
In her little country towns
The ones out on the backroads
That'd rather not be found
The ones you hitchhike into
When your truck gets broken down
The ones where people say Hello
Welcome to our town
Towns like . . .
  Bayfield - Cascade - Manitou - Palisade
  Palmer Lake - Larkspur - Lake City - Gardner
  Kiowa - Niwot - Walden - Wolcott
  Rico - Antonito - Paonia - Vallecito
  Firestone - Crestone - Romeo - Redstone
  Redwing - Greenland - Blue River - Uravan
  Villa Grove - Parachute - Hugo - Crested Butte
  Hudson - Gunnison - Milliken - Morrison
The heart of Colorado's
In a mainstreet cafe
A place a guy can go
Drink coffee on a rainy day
A place when you're too tired to cook
Where everything's homemade
A place to swap a story
And pass the time away
In towns like . . .
  Hotchkiss - Silver Cliff - Westcliffe - Red Cliff
  Kittredge - Cedaredge - Trinidad - State Bridge
  Rockvale - Idledale - Deer Trail - Carbondale
  Ouray - Ridgeway - Rye, Wray & Gateway
  Limon - Yuma - Monument - Dumont
  Mountain View - Johnstown - Franktown - Jamestown
  South Fork - Lake George -  Del Norte - Dinosaur
  El Jebel - Maybell - Bowmar - Aguilar
The voice of Colorado
Is blowing in the wind
The one that tells the Aspen leaf
It's time to fall again
The one down from Wyoming
That blows the Winter in
The one in March that lets us know
Springtime's roaring in
In towns like . . .
  Julesburg - Strasburg - Elbert - Walsenburg
  Buena Vista - Yampa - Monte Vista - Blanca
  Norwood - Cortez - Meeker - Dolores
  Salt Creek - Coal Creek - Holyoke & Oak Creek
  Clifton - Burlington - Silverton - Haxtun
  Gilcrest - Gold Hill - Rocky Ford - Platteville
  Victor - La Veta - Clark & Naturita
  Fairplay - Cotopaxi - Climax - take a taxi
The soul of Colorado's
In her little country towns
The ones out on the backroads
That'd rather not be found
The ones you hitchhike into
When your truck gets broken down
The ones where people say Hello
Welcome to our town
