Backpack to Colorado

Backpack to Colorado
To escape that lifestyle
A desk job with a cubicle scene
And chasing cash and time in my dreams
Now surrounded by mountains
Surreal one something dollars ounces
This life
These times
Will never be forgotten
Yeah

Feels like
Feels right
But
How long can a good thing last
In this life
When the thrill has passed?
Hey though, wait though, how time has dragged

And looking back when
When I flip-flopped
From rock to hip-hop
The dream was nonstop, time cropped
I confess later
The thinker and the writer
Is sitting on the block contemplating if...

Maybe I should stay
Maybe I should go
Maybe I should stay
Maybe I don't know
Maybe I'm just going to go and...

Backpack to Colorado
To escape that lifestyle
A desk job with a cubicle scene
And chasing cash and time in my dreams
Now surrounded by mountains
Surreal one something dollars ounces
This life
These times
Will never be forgotten
Yeah

Backpack to Colorado
A dream can be so hollow
And
The backdrop of this beautiful scene
Is wasting space and time in my dreams
Are all the mountains
I've been surrounded by
Just the skyline of Chicago?
Will this life, in these dreams
Be another forgotten thing?

And looking back when I flip-flopped
From hip-hop and rock
The dream was nonstop
The vision with time cropped
The tension thickened the plot
I confess a decade later
That the thinker and the writer was sitting still on the block
But now
I feel so lifted
With no fucks to be given
And never let my mind give in
To freedom restrictive-isms
But that's a different story
For now what I get is a feeling
A feeling to keep on going
To keep on dreaming
(Dreaming)

Backpack to Colorado
To escape that lifestyle
A desk job with a cubicle scene
And chasing cash and time in my dreams
Now surrounded by mountains
Surreal one something dollars ounces
This life
These times
Will never be forgotten
Yeah

Backpack to Colorado
Will never be forgotten
Yeah
