lyrics

He was born in Colorado
Now his heart is buried there.
She was born the east coast daughter of a railway engineer
When he met her she was lonely
Some folks say that he was wild
They weren’t married to each other
But they chose to have a child


There are roads we choose and there are those we lose
But the roads chosen for us haunt us most
There are paths we take and there are hearts that break
Now I'm chasing after a ghost
I'm chasing after your ghost

I may never know the answers
To why you left your love behind
Or if you ever tried to follow or if I was on your mind
You left Trail of tears behind you
I got your nose but not your name

But there are roads we choose and there are those we lose
But the roads chosen for us haunt the most
There are paths we take and there are hearts that break
And now I'm chasing after a ghost
I'm chasing after your ghost

And there are pieces of you in pieces of me
I'm a branch that was grafted on the family tree
And I wonder if you ever knew who I grew up to be?
Ooo-ooo

Now I long for Colorado
And my heart still lingers there
And I wish that I could travel
Like a railway engineer
But the mountains, miles and secrets
Kept me from coming home to you
