Songfacts®:

  • "Colorado" is a feeling-bad song about getting over a breakup up in the Colorado Rockies with the help of some friends and some substances.

    Well I got friends from Colorado
    I got friends from Tennessee
    So I got something in a bottle
    And I got something from a seed
    Since you said you didn't love me
    Since hung me out to dry
    I've been drunk up in the Smokies
    On a Rocky Mountain high


    Tyler Hubbard commented in a video: "You know in a kinda roundabout way it's kind of a love story. To who? You decide."
