Steve Earle - News from Colorado lyrics

Sunlight slipped right through the blinds
I'd carefully pulled down
Drive me from my dreaming and I
Woke up on the ground
The phone's ringing by my head
Just like I knew it would
News from Colorado's never good

My brother stole another car
They're holding him downtown
Sister's telling 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'd 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

News from Colorado news from Colorado
News from Colorado
