The King of Colorado

Song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro

Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance.

VERSE 1 – Option A (Denver - Blender)

I left Dakota

For a future

Down in Denver.

And I followed

My need

For a Rocky

Mountain high.

But I’ve decided

I don’t mind mixing

With a blender.

So I’m packing up

And should be home

By Mid-July.

VERSE 1 – Option B  (Colder - Boulder)

I left Dakota

When it started

To get colder.

And I followed

My need

For a rocky

Mountain high.

But my dreams

Are dryin’ up

Here in Boulder.

I’m packing up

And should be home

By Mid-July.

CHORUS

Mile after mile

I’m on the highway,

In my

Winnebego.

But my heart

Is in the Bakken

Exclusively.

While I may

Never

Be the King of

Colorado.

I’ll know I’ve made it

When I’m a North Plains

Celebrity.

VERSE 2

You know the roughnecks

In Dakota

Don’t always like me.

Cause their ladies

Get excited

When I sing.

But they don’t know

@  So I tell them

That they’re so luck-y.

@  They’re the one that’s luck-y.

Cause no Bakken

Beauty wants to

Wear my ring.

CHORUS

Mile after mile

I’m on the road,

In my

Winnebego.

But my heart

Is in the Bakken

Exclusively.

While I may

Never

Be the King of

Colorado

I’ll know I’ve made it

When I’m a North Plains

Celebrity.

The End.
