th Fret Intro: The western prairie stretches far away from home Lose your troubles in the big sky Thought I'd move along like the ranchers do Stake a claim on a quiet space or two Miles away, still I recall your face and your lines I once resided in a place Where riverboats lined up the big muddy shore Until I couldn't stand my sunny South anymore Tonight I want to be a strong Colorado woman I don't want to be your Mississippi girl There are times I need you to hold on to But this time I got to hold on by myself I tumbled with the dustbowls across the Oklahoma plain Headed westward towards the mountains and the rain The meadow of the timberline With your image still haunting my mind Tonight I want to be a strong Colorado woman I don't want to be your Mississippi girl There are times I need you to hold on to But this time I got to hold on by myself Bridge: Take me down Take me down Won't you please melt me down But let me up Help me up I want back on my feet again Instrumental:
