about

"West to the M Lazy C" takes me back to Colorado, driving west from Colorado Springs on highway 24...up Ute Pass into Woodland Park (where I used to go for pancakes at the Hungry Bear, and got the best donuts at The Donut Mill). The road heads up to Lake George, a small town with an amazing canyon winding south. There used to be a restaurant there called Mountain Shadows--awesome burgers and the best fries. It's closed now, of course. Driving further, you'll get to a guest ranch called the M Lazy C. The owners, Randy and Brenda, are great people. I was the lunch-time entertainment one year, for a cattle drive fundraiser.

lyrics

ute pass, west on 24
granite walls & pine trees
at your door
look on your shoulder now
the north face lookin' down
the "hungry bear" & "donut mill"
make this town

headin' west to the m lazy c
headin' west now, to the m lazy c

lake george, west on 24
eleven-mile canyon
fishing lures
pull off the shoulder now
a flake of hay for the bay
"maountain shadows"
grab a bite, take a break

chorus

passin' tarryall, west on 24
plains of buffalo & hartsel
you've gone too far
just a dirt road
windin' back through the trees
a single feather swings
from randy's hat, you'll see

chorus
