	Story Behind the Song Moment of desperation in which he reflects upon the hopes and dreams that led him to this strange place. And now that he's got nothing but regret, he frantically scribbles an apology to the family that always believed in him. The letter reaches out to any one or thing to pull him out alive. Lyrics Goldmines of Colorado music/lyrics © Marke Vaske July 11,2001 There`s somethin inside of me where I thought my heart to be and Mama I feel it pushin out. There`s some heavy weight above me and I feel it pushin down. Hell and I don`t care if I ever move. There`s so many faces on my wall I`m afraid to look away. I`m trapped between my burdens and I believe I`m breakin down. I know I said there`s goldmines in Colorado and I was gonna have me one. But sweet lord, now I`m breaking down. Don`t think I loved you any less and don`t think yourself to blame. Just give my love to father and tell the kids I tried. So many times I long to be in the home I left for gold where I slept beside the dusty frame portraits of long ago. Well I left home runnin and I ran hard and I ran long. But out here my best never did amount to much - and the worst laid siege to all I`d known. I know I said there`s goldmines in Colorado and I was gonna have me one. But sweet lord, now I`m breaking down. It used to be the sound of your voice, without even a word to say, would for a time carry me back home. But the blood runnin through my veins has become the devil`s own and I haven`t strength for him to fear. In this time before me I have failed even your faith in me for I can`t ward off this load. Dearest Mother, please believe me. I loved you most the moment I let go. I know I said there`s goldmines in Colorado and I was gonna have me one. But sweet lord, now I`ve broken down. Sweet lord, now I`ve broken down. Sweet lord, now I`ve broken down.
