lyrics

You remind me of a hard drink
Tough to get down but great once it sets in
I almost gave up on you, years ago
When the moon was sneakin' out, I was a stranger to your skin

We went for a drive, I-25
Fully alive and full of surprise
Never thought that I would reach such a height
Lord, let me die in her arms
Tonight

Colorado dreamin' on such a winter's day
The sun hidin' behind the face of ol' West Spanish Peak
When you remember this moment, years from now
Think about the good we had, the love we shared between

We went for a drive, I-25
Fully alive and full of surprise
Never thought that I would reach such a height
Lord, let me die in her arms
Tonight

You remind me of a hard drink
Makin' a fool of even responsible men
I almost thought I was safe, forevermore
But I know that in time, I'll just let you down again

We went for a drive, I-25
Fully alive and full of surprise
Never thought that I could lead her to the light
So Lord, let me die in her arms tonight
Lord, let me die in her arms tonight
Lord, let me die...
Tonight
