Rob Storrs, My Proud Mountains - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jul 16, 2009
DESCRIPTION:
I discovered Townes Van Zandt via Steve Earle. He's now one of my favorite song writers (along with, of course, Steve Earle).

Here's another Townes cover.

My Proud Mountains
(Townes Van Zandt)

My home is Colorado with her proud mountains tall
Where the rivers, like gypsies, down her black canyons fall
Well, Im a long way from Denver with a long way to go
So lend an ear to my singin, cause Ill be back no more

Well I left as a young man, not full seventeen
With nothing for company but the wind and a dream
Bout all the fast ladies and the livin Id find
When I left My Proud Mountains and rivers behind

So I roamed and I rambled like a leaf in the wind
Well I found my fast ladies and some hard livin men
I sometimes went hungry with my pockets all bare
Lord, I sometimes had good luck with money to spare

Well, I made me some friends, Lord, that I wont soon forget
Well, some are down under and some are ramblin yet
But as for me, well, Im headed for home
Back to high Colorado, never more for to roam

So friends, when my time comes as surely it will
You just carry my body out to some lonesome hill
And lay me down easy where the cool rivers run
With only my mountains tween me and the sun
Yeah, my home is Colorado
