lyrics

It’s the day after Christmas
We already put away the ornaments
And took down the tree
Pulled it out to the yard in 82 degrees

It’d be nice to find some cold air
It’d be nice to find winter somewhere
In my mind December should be cold
Where can we go to find some snow?

Pack your bags
Pack up the car
Pack the dog and your guitar
We’re goin, we’re goin to Colorado
Pack your bags
Pack up the car
Pack the dog, yeah pack it all
We’re goin, we’re goin to Colorado

I’ll sleep while you drive
Then I’ll drive through the night from santa fe on 25
We watch the sun rise in the blazing sky
All orange and red and blinding driving eyes

A thousand miles and 13 hours
Driving west along the open road
We cross from Texas to new mexico
And we feel the temperature sink low

Pack your bags
Pack up the car
Pack the dog and your guitar
We’re goin, we’re goin to Colorado
Pack your bags
Pack up the car
Pack the dog, yeah pack it all
We’re goin, we’re goin to Colorado

And it’s kind of a relief
To leave it all behind
In the build up to the hallmark holiday
Peace and Joy can be a little hard to find

Pack your bags……
