News From Colorado Lyrics - Steve Earle

Sunlight slips right through the blinds that's carefully pulled down 

Drive me from my dreamin' and I woke up on the ground 

The phone's ringin' by my head just like I knew it would 

News from Colorado's never good 

My brother stole another car, they're holdin' him downtown 

Sister's tellin' everyone he's in the army now 

Mama only says the things that daddy say she should 

News from Colorado's never good 

How'd it get so far away, it seemed like only yesterday 

I took my first few steps out on my own 

Look at me in the mirror now I see a thousand miles 

And somehow Colorado doesn't feel like home 

There ain't no way to go back even if I wanted to 

It only be a waste of time and there's nothing I can do 

Breaks my heart but somehow I have always understood 

News from Colorado's never good
