Uncle Bud God rest his soul
Was always trying to get out West
Revive forgotten times and old folklore
One night at the bottom of a bottle
He found something worth dying for
And built his own Colorado on a peaceful distant shore
I bet you're probably thinkin'
There's no way this could be true
And some Bible thumpin' Christians would concur
And even though I wasn't in that room
I know Gods love has never failed
And Colorado can take your breath away I've heard
If they could see him now they'd understand
Things are seldom what they seem
Did the bottle kill him or did it set him free
No I don't believe he died alone on his Rocky Mountain high
As he built his Colorado in some sweet by and by
The next time that I see him
No he won't look the same
Maybe then we'll know just what Gods love can do
And all those doubting believers
Will have a smile upon their face
As his Colorado takes even their breath away
If they could see him now they'd understand
Things are seldom what they seem
Did the bottle kill him or did it set him free
No I don't believe he died alone on his Rocky Mountain high
As he built his Colorado in some sweet by and by
As his spirit moves on the winds that blow
You can hear him say don't cry
I made it to Colorado
Tell Linda I'm alright
