My sun rose in a small town Where I grew up way too fast And some beach became my college years Before it became my past And California's where I learned to dream But it never felt like home It took a whole lot of miles To find the place where I belong So won't you come out here with me And chase this Rocky Mountain freedom Let that mile high air you breathe in Wind you where the river rolls Yeah we're born where we're born But I feel it deep down in my bones My heart beats in Tennessee But my sun sets in Colorado I've danced beside the ocean Got my blue jeans wet at high tide My hands have reached for Heaven From a New York City skyline Oh but nothing else compares To the stardust on the snow caps It's the kind of place you leave Then you can't wait to go back So won't you come out here with me And chase this Rocky Mountain freedom Let that mile high air you breathe in Wind you where the river rolls Yeah we're born where we're born But I feel it deep down in my bones My heart beats in Tennessee But my sun sets in Colorado Colorado Come on Sing an old New Grass song with me Telluride along with me Let's show 'em all just how to be Footloose and wildflower free Won't you come out here with me And chase this Rocky Mountain freedom Let that mile high air you breathe in Wind you where the river rolls Yeah we're born where we're born But I feel it deep down in my bones My heart beats in Tennessee But my sun sets in Colorado Colorado
