Colorado’s Green

My friend said it was scary being 40
And getting laid off after 15 years
Finding more questions than answers
Trying to start a new career

Back then, he lived in sunny Florida
Til his cousin from Denver called
Said he could crash there for a while
And start working on a cannabis farm

Pre-Chorus:
He packed up and moved five states away
Cause he believed it when he heard his cousin say

Chorus 1:
Colorado’s green is gold
A new home can give you hope
Where it’s all right to get Rocky Mountain high
And send your troubles up in smoke
You might not even miss the coast cause
Colorado’s green is gold

He told that story on his 50th birthday
And said he couldn’t believe how things changed
Now he owns a some 420 cafes
Best decision he’s ever made

Pre-Chorus:
He said if he hadn’t taken the risk back then
He never would have known that

Chorus 2:
Colorado’s green is gold
His new home gave him hope
Where it’s all right to get Rocky Mountain high
And send his troubles up in smoke
He didn't even miss the coast cause
Colorado’s green is gold

Bridge:
That’s when he looked at his family and friends
Said if he can do it, anyone can
Life’s too short to settle for less
And then he said it again

Chorus 2:
Colorado’s green is gold
His new home gave him hope
Where it’s all right to get Rocky Mountain high
And send his troubles up in smoke
He didn't even miss the coast cause
Colorado’s green is gold

Tag:
Yeah, Colorado’s green is gold
