Fort Collins, Colorado Lyrics

Here I am, once again

In the same bed that I've lied my head in a hundred times

Here I am, again

In the same town that I visited, and dreamt of living in one day

But now, my grandma's in the hospital

And my father's a near-criminal

My brother's farther away from me than ever

And I feel like I don't know my friends anymore

I've got nothing for me here, except a job and one old lover

But he's gone, and I hate my job

So what's the big idea here

But now, my mama's moving out of here

And I know that John's going with her

My brother and his wife would take me in

If they knew that they could afford it

But now, my grandma's in the hospital

And my father's a near-criminal

My brother's farther away from me than ever

And I feel like I don't know my friends anymore

But now, my mama's moving out of here

And I know that John's going with her

My brother and his wife would take me in

If they knew that they could afford it

But now, my grandma's in the hospital

And my father's a near-criminal

My brother's farther away from me than ever

And I feel like I don't know my friends anymore

But now, I've learned to live in peace

And I know that it took all my strength to leave my home

So now I'll go, and I'll take the memories with me
