lyrics

Colleen
by Doug Midgley

I had to leave the city
To find out how I feel
Yellowstone's mountain roads
And daisy covered fields
Where Colleen Reily touched my life
Colleen showed me what it is to love her freedom

I was hopelessly in love 
Heartbroken and alone
Shattered by good gone bad
I thought too much to know
Then Colleen straightened out my sight
Colleen showed me what it is to know my freedom

She told me of a love 
She felt high in the mountains
It was very plain to me 
She was led by her emotions
And Colleen is destined to stay free
Colleen knows what she wants is what her world will be

She hails from Ohio 
But she spent last year in Cody
I feel like I've been robbed 
'Cause she may never get to know me
Colleen Reily changed my life
Colleen showed me what it is to love my freedom

I hope she understands
That I meant the things I told her
She took me by the hands
And my confusion was over
Colleen, thanks for what you've done
Colleen, you stole my heart and gave me back my freedom
