Colorado Songs and Lyrics

Bob Seger performs tonight at the Pepsi Center. My wife and I saw him at McNichols Arena ten years ago (his last tour.) Tonight on 99.5 The Mountain they played a set of Bob Seger songs. "Get Out of Denver," was one. (I think that is the title.)

That made me think. How many songs about Colorado are there? Of course there is Rocky Mountain High, the John Denver classic (I wish I would have seen him at Red Rocks in 1983.) There is "Rocky Mountain Way," (I did see Joe Walsh perform that last summer at Red Rocks with the James Gang.) I saw the Dead sing, "I Know You Rider," at Red Rocks. That includes a line about Colorado.

What songs can you think of? I will start a thread over on the Message Board, so you can add your song to the list. Let's come up with the definitive list.
