Steve Earle - Colorado Girl Lyrics






I'm goin' out to Denver
See if I can't find
I'm goin' out to Denver
See if I can't find
That lovin' Colorado girl of mine

The promise in her smile
Shames the mountains tall
The promise in her smile
Shames the mountains tall
She bring the sun to shining
Tell the rain to fall

It's been a long time, mama
Since I heard you call my name
Ah, been a long time
Since I heard you call my name
I got to see my Colorado girl again

Be there tomorrow
Mama, don't you cry
Be there tomorrow
Now, mama, don't you cry
I got to kiss these
Lonesome Texas blues goodbye

I'm goin' out to to Denver
See if I can't find
I'm goin' out to to Denver
See if I can't find
That lovin' Colorado girl of mine
That lovin' Colorado girl of mine

  1. A.... b....

    Beautiful. Thankyou.! Ten years.later..❣😎

  2. T.... ....

    I love everything about this song, but… It sure would have sounded better if they would have mic'd his guitar instead of playing through the guitar's electronics. Come on fellas… How long does it take to run another mic?

  3. t.... H....

    Towns was amazing

  4. E.... M....

    It sounds so aggressive. That song works different man

  5. P.... ....

    Townes version is so much more powerful. Not that Steve Earle is bad...

  6. J.... d....

    Hey Steve, why those folks laugh, made me laugh too

  7. w.... ....

    he saved Bubbles

    w.... ....

    Bubbles dies bro

  8. J.... d....

    Alamo hieghts high

  9. J.... d....

    bad ass version, I grew up in San Antonio too, but played guitar, Christopher cross made it

  10. M.... F....

    steve  you are the best thanks for sharing

  11. J.... M....

    Great!!!.....

  12. J.... d....

    Did Townes teach u to play guitar and song write.... not a question 

    J.... d....

     to B Hartman

  13. B.... H....

    gary white...ur a fukin putz....steve said...he was one....one of the best song writers.....dick fuckin head.....never did he say dylan or kris who the fuck ever was no as good.....you lack the true spirt of song writing you fuckin peuk...fact is...u couldnt tie your own shoe let alone steve earls or towns....never the less...bet you cant walk and chew gum either fukstik!!!!!!

  14. n.... ....

    I don't think this has anything to do with political correctness, but the complexity of telling Townes's story in a soundbite. For one thing, there were mental issues as well as alcoholism, but some debate among family and friends about the specific diagnosis.

  15. F.... B....

    Steve caught me on the nod at one of his gigs and the look he gave me set me on the right road. God bless him.

  16. F.... B....

    Fucking political correctness pisses me off ! Why is Letterman so afraid of just telling the damned truth about a man's life ? What's wrong with Americans ?

    F.... B....

    Felix Burke
    Letterman didn't KNOW about TVZ's life. It didn't have anything to do about being "politically correct". Lettermen is a prick, anyway.

  17. k.... ....

    Maybe he was wary of judgemental "fans" who post ill-informed crap online.

  18. n.... ....

    @peevy345
    I am no expert, but I know Steve has a signature Martin M-21, and believe that is what he may be playing here.

  19. B.... M....

    @garywhite67
    gfy

  20. n.... ....

    @garywhite67
    Steve says here Townes was ONE of the best, not the best. I am sure he would include the others in the list. Arguments about "best" are subjective, but to say Townes only wrote a couple good songs? Do you know his music? He nver made it big, but I have read an interview in which Kris praised his music and would be willing to bet Dylan respected him as well.

  21. g.... w....

    townes was not the best songwriter steve.come on now.ever heard of kris kristofferson.townes couldnt tie his shoes.for steve to think townes was better then kris is just plain stupid.and i could go on.bob dylan. lennon mc cartney.townes had a couple good songs thats it steve.

    g.... w....

    Harlon Howard was one of the best country writers ever.

    g.... w....

    Gary is just plain and stupid. To disgrace TVZ, you have a special place in hell. Kris doesn’t have a single good song and you claim Townes only has a couple.

  22. T.... M....

    I heard him do this in Dallas. Opened the show with it, if I remember correctly. Wonderful performance. Wonderful song.

  23. J.... A....

    @johnnycanada Sure he talks a lot of Politics, but wouldn't it be cool to spend an hour or 2 talking 1 on 1 with Steve? No one else around, no cameras or mic's.

  24. j.... ....

    I love it when Steve just plays music and spares us from his personal politics.

  25. f.... ....

    wish someone would post Townes sing this live...cant find it on the tube...one of Townes best

  26. r.... ....

    I miss Townes.

  27. w.... ....

    Funny, I can hear Tom Rush doing this - its a classic chassis for a song - and I did hear Townes do it to end a show back in '94, just solo in a little town in a little folk joint, without a band, and his eyes welled up with tears at the end of it, like mine are now...

  28. S.... ....

    That was some beautiful picking! Makes me want to pick up a guitar again. If only I could sing :( And thanks to Steve for getting and staying clean so we can have him around to hear these beautiful songs.

  29. T.... H....

    Steve Rocks!!!

  30. J.... B....

    i've been a huge fan of Steve Earle's for a hundred years, we both hail from the same part of Texas and, to me, he is the greatest singer songwriter alive..but,that's just me....a wonderful person, real inspiration to many..and yes, it is a blessing God gave him a second chance at life....

  31. J.... A....

    I can't think of a better way to spend 5 minutes of my time. I'm so glad Steve's still here. He fills in a Musical Gap that was missing in my heart, along with peolple like Guy Clark, Playing for Change and a guy named Mike Sinatra. WOW!

  32. S.... ....

    Does anyone know how to put this to an mp3? I'm rying to get it on guitar...would love to be able to play along to it (internet is tough in Africa!) If so, email me!

  33. T.... L....

    One of the best sounding acoustic performances I have ever listened to

  34. 7.... ....

    and to bslz65, no the capo isn't on F#, it's on the 2nd fret, which would be an E because the guitar is tuned to Open D.

    Don't you hate when you try to call someone out only to be the one shown to be the bigger moron

  35. 7.... ....

    He uses Open D tuning, with the capo at the 2nd fret obviously. He alternates both low D's with his thumb, which is the hard part if you are unfamiliar with finger picking, at least to do so effectively and to stay in rhythm.

    Steve and Townes are two of the greatest. Thanks so much for showing this. I get more and more blown away each time I listen to it. Simply amazing.

  36. c.... ....

    i wish i could pick like that!!!

  37. O.... R....

    I remember watching this and saying, "Man, he looks a lot like Walon from The Wire!" Found out later, no clue this dude could act.

  38. R.... ....

    Great version of a great Townes song. Steve said it, Townes was one of the best songwriters ever!

  39. J.... B....

    baby, you better back track 20 years and get all of his stuff...he is incredible...

  40. J.... B....

    yep, you are right, i've had the joy of seeing Steve twice now on the Townes tour....just wish i could see him every week!!! steve earle is incredible in a thousand different ways.....i've loved him forever and ever.....and, isn't he just a cute feller????

  41. r.... p....

    simply one of the best and townes van zant one of greatest musicians that ever lived

  42. B.... ....

    Take it easy. Even if he was capo-ed in Z, it still sounds annoying.

  43. S.... ....

    r u a fucking moron. it has a capo on F# you idiot.

  44. B.... ....

    Can someone tune his guitar?

  45. t.... ....

    I had never heard of him until I saw this the other night. Now I can't get enough! He is sooo good!

  46. C.... M....

    Awsome!

  47. R.... D....

    Ive been following his career since I bought the GUITAR TOWN album LP back in 86. Going to see him this coming Saturday in Savannah!

  48. r.... ....

    i love steve earle, but i dont know how daivd letterman has been on tv for so long...

  49. k.... ....

    Incredible! You all better recognize!

  50. A.... H....

    Awesome, Steve Earle is the best
