about

"I-25" is another Colorado song. Running north to south is the interstate, from Fort Collins to Denver to Castle Rock to Colorado Springs to Pueblo to Walsenburg to Trinidad. All along the Front Range, right along the mountains. It is an idealization of that road, that drive, with the morning sun lighting it all up from the top down.

lyrics

crack in the windshield
right where you need to see
driver's side sunburn
you wish you'd wore long sleeves
dotted yellow line, like
counting sheep rub your eyes

and the miles go by
and you shift and sigh
and the miles go by
and you rub your eyes
i-25

sunrise on the front range
y'er right where you need to be
alpenglow on evans now
it's just what you need to see
down the road a few more miles &
castle, springs and you smile

chorus

before the afternoon rains
before the clouds come in & stay
just to see that fourteen grand
above this promised land
