I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado

I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
 He'd rather spend his time out where
 The sky looks like a pearl after a rain
 Once again I see him walkin
 Once again I hear him talking
 To the stars he makes
 And asking them for bus fare
 I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
 He'd rather play his banjo in the morning
 When the moon is scarcely gone
 In the dawn the subways comin'
 In the dawn I hear him hummin'
 Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon
 I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
 I guess he'd rather be in Colorado
 I guess he'd rather work out
 Where the only thing you earn
 Is what you spend
 In the end up in his office
 In the end a quiet cough
 Is all he has to show
 He lives in New York City
