She’d trade Colorado if he’d take her with him
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay
She’s answered by the tail lights
Shining through the window pane
Chorus
He said I wanna see you again
But I’m stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
She said you’re a rambling man
And you ain’t ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leaving
At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln
The night is black as the coffee he was drinking
And in the waitress’ eyes he sees the same old light a-shining
He thinks of Colorado and the girl he left behind
Chorus
(born for leaving)
Well, it’s a winding road
When you’re in the lost and found
You’re a lover, I’m a runner
And we go round and round
And I love you but I leave you
I don’t want you but I need you
You know it’s you that calls me back here
Chorus
Oh, I wanna see you again
But I’m stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
‘Cause I’m a rambling man
And I ain’t ever gonna change
Got a gypsy soul to blame
And I was born for leaving
(born for leaving)
When I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I’m with your ghost again
It’s a shame about the weather
But I know soon we’ll be together
And I can’t wait till then
I can’t wait till then
