Lyrics
“Surfin’ Colorado”
Well, we’re surfin’ Colorado grab your board, let’s go
It’s fall down in the valleys, way up high it’s snow
Hittin’ Winter Park maybe we’ll ride the rail
Or head up through the tunnel and we’ll stop in Vail
We don’t need a beach in Californ—i—a
‘cause we’re surfin’ Colorado on our boards today
Cruise up from Durango on to Telluride
Maybe jump a cornice off the mountainside
Fly so far we’ll land somewhere in Crested Butte
We’ll look up Warren Miller on a photo shoot
We don’t need a beach in Californ—i—a
‘cause we’re surfin’ Colorado on our boards today
Go, go, go
Surfin’ Colorado
In the snow, snow , snow
Surfin’ Colorado
Way up high, high, high
Surfin’ Colorado
Through the sky, sky, sky
Surfin’ Colorado
We don’t need a beach in Californ—i—a
‘cause we’re surfin’ Colorado on our boards today
Strappin’ on at Copper, we’re at timberline
The girls we met up on the chair are mighty fine
We’ll take ‘em through the trees and move it inside out
And hook up in the village where we’ll dance and shout:
"We don’t need a beach in Californ—i—a
‘cause we’re surfin’ Colorado on our boards today!"
Go, go, go
Surfin’ Colorado
In the snow, snow , snow
Surfin’ Colorado
Way up high, high, high
Surfin’ Colorado
Through the sky, sky, sky
Surfin’ Colorado
We don’t need a beach in Californ—i—a
‘cause we’re surfin’ Colorado on our boards today
Well Aspen, “Breck”, and Keystone now are on our list
Steamboat and the “Creeks” we know just can’t be missed
Loveland at the tunnel, we’ll be back real soon
And finish at A-Basin with a run in June
We don’t need a beach in Californ—i—a
‘cause we’re surfin’ Colorado on our boards today
Go, go, go
Surfin’ Colorado
In the snow, snow , snow
Surfin’ Colorado
Way up high, high, high
Surfin’ Colorado
Through the sky, sky, sky
Surfin’ Colorado
We don’t need a beach in Californ—i—a
‘cause we’re surfin’ Colorado on our boards today!
