I just 
left a place where nobody was running a race 
Or rushing 
to find the finish line to some kind of end 
Nobody was 
sad, no, everybody was so glad to be alive and in  
The 
company of lovers and friends 
  
Crested 
Butte, honey you sure can shoot 
You took 
the gold and the loot 
You got 
your feet on the ground 
Crested 
Butte, honey you sure are cute,  
And just 
like a worn out boot you’ve got me laying around 
  
Up in the 
mine, you’re never sure what you will find 
And 
panning in the river, you don’t always strike yellow 
But I 
could not loose, no, Crested got the best of my city blues 
She took 
me high to the timber line to let me get mellow 
  
Crested 
Butte, honey you sure can shoot 
You took 
the gold and the loot 
You got 
your feet on the ground 
Crested 
Butte, honey you sure are cute,  
And just 
like a worn out boot you’ve got me laying around 
  
Crested 
Butte, honey you sure can shoot 
You took 
the gold and the loot 
You got 
your feet on the ground 
Crested 
Butte, honey you sure are cute,  
And just 
like a worn out boot you’ve got me laying around |
