Lyrics for Colorado Exile
by Jim Post

Jim Post came out of west Texas to form "Freind and Lover" who reached number 4 nationwide with "Reach Out in the Darkness". He makes his living these days impersonating Mark Twain.

Lord, this city livin' is bringin' me down

Half a million people every time I turn around

They're sayin' ÒBuy some of this, won't you give me some of that?Ó

A man can't even find a peaceful place to sit.

 

Chorus:

Gonna go and live by a river until my soul is cleansed

Gonna go and live by a river, let life move on in

Gonna go and talk to those gentle people who live out by the trees

Gonna go and live by a river until my soul is free.

 

Out in Colorado the water runs so clean.

Drop down on your knees, take a drink from a cool-running stream.

While you're on your knees look up to the sky above.

Out in Colorado you can feel God's love.

 

Chorus:

Gonna go and live by a river until my soul is cleansed

Gonna go and live by a river, let life move on in

Gonna go and talk to those gentle people who live out by the trees

Gonna go and live by a river until my soul is free.
