Colorado on Trial Lyrics

Cool & Unusual Punishment
Intro:
Colorado you made me love you
So I'm putting you on trial
For turning me against my own state
To whom I've been so faithful
And loved exclusively for a while
Like any affair of this kind
It began so innocently
You seduced me with your beauty
But I a sucker for sensation
I found no resistance in me
I found no strength to leave her
Chorus:
Colorado must take the stand
She has made an adulterer of a happily married man
Colorado's here for reprimand
She has made an adulterer of a happily married man
Verse:
My home state of Texas
Has never done anything
To deserve this kind of immoral treatment of
Lying and deception
All in the name of a summer fling, oh
I, a powerless man
I couldn't stand in the shadow
Of her mountains and expect to overcome
The joy of gratitude accompanied
By an indulgent glance
How could any red-blooded man look away?
Bridge:
I can tell
The lawyer that you hired is a
Crook in disguise
You'll walk out of the courtroom
And find the nearest man
Yeah you and I both know
That a jury's gonna be leniant
On a good looking woman, yeah
Instrumental:
Verse:
Colorado, raise your right hand
And look us all in the face
Vow to put an end to the torment
That you've spread around like butter
Never askin what it meant
To institute separation of man and state
And this parallelization disintegrates
Outro:(X2)
Colorado,
Colorado,
Colorado must take the stand
