COLORADO HORSES
As sung by Will Dudley on "Trying to Rope the Moon" and "Colorado Horses"

1. We were up before the sunrise, loaded up the horses; we were gone.
We crossed La Veta pass into that sweet San Luis Valley, rollin' on.
There's Wolf Creek straight ahead, ten thousand feet of mountain; we'll be there by noon.
We're haulin' Colorado horses down to winter beneath the Arizona moon.

2. Rolled straight on through Durango toward Four Corners; that old Ford was makin' ground.
We stretched the horses' legs in Teec Nos Pos and watched the desert sun go down.
We made camp out in the nations and we listened to the ancestors' tunes.
We're haulin' Colorado horses down to winter beneath the Arizona moon.

3. I called the boss in Wickenburg just to let him know when we'd be rollin' in,
Fed the horses, fed ourselves, picked some guitar while the firelight grew dim,
Then we passed the bottle round and watched the night turn into mornin' way too soon.
We're haulin' Colorado horses down to winter beneath the Arizona moon.

4. Sing praises to these horses; they've hauled a thousand dudes into the hills.
They'd take us to the rivers where the voice of Mother Nature won't be still.
I ain't no big-time banker but I know exactly what I should be doin'.
We're haulin' Colorado horses down to winter beneath the Arizona moon.

[Repeat 3.]
