Verse 1
Truth and consequences close behind us
take the rockies by surprise
and old coyotes warn early mornings of
wild horses in desquise
Chorus
won't you take me through the mountains
towards the oregon trial
and say goodbye to Colorado
front my heart I wish you well

Verse 2
we missed the magpie so we took a long drive

won't you take me
through the mountains
towards the oregon line.
say goodbye to Colorado
fare the well good friend of mine
( Repeat intro )
Verse 3
