I park the car by the river One of our rivers Of course this song would come on I let it play by the river As I wade way into the river Just to stand up neck deep boots and all With the current crashing past me lashing Both arms red and raw But all the rivers in Colorado couldn't wash you off of my mind Not that I'm tryin', just a thought though Might be nice to keep from crying Like all the rivers in Colorado You would float down in my arms Now you're gone and though they know that These stupid arms still hope to hold back All the rivers in Colorado Still the night river Still the white river Still the silver swordplay in the sun Still the crystal blue clear, muddy root beer-colored rivers run But all the rivers in Colorado couldn't wash you off of my mind Not that I'm tryin', just a thought though Might be nice to keep from crying Like all the rivers in Colorado You would float down in my arms Now you're gone and though they know that These stupid arms still hope to hold back All the rivers in Colorado John is on the radio But I'm at an all time Rocky Mountain low All the rivers in Colorado couldn't wash you off of my mind Not that I'm tryin', just a thought though Might be nice to keep from crying Like all the rivers in Colorado You would float down in my arms Now you're gone, I get it though I've got to learn to let it go like All the rivers in Colorado
