Colorado
Florida Georgia Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got friends from Tennessee
So I got somethin' in a bottle
And I got somethin' from a seed
Since you said you didn't love me
Since you hung me out to dry
I've been drunk up in the Smokies
On a Rocky Mountain high
Made the plans, booked the day, spent the money too
Nothin' sweet 'bout a paid-for honeymoon
Million dollar view to see, but she won't
Since "I do" turned right into "I don't"
So I'm chillin' in a cabin at the tip-top
Lookin' at a holler full of hemlocks
No cars, no bars on my phone
And just when you think I'm all alone
I got friends from Colorado
I got friends from Tennessee
So I got somethin' in a bottle
And I got somethin' from a seed
Since you said you didn't love me
Since you hung me out to dry
I've been drunk up in the Smokies
On a Rocky Mountain high
These Appalachian folks
Probably think I'm losin' it in these trees
Yeah, but they don't know
What kind of company I keep
Yeah
Well, I got friends from Colorado
I got friends from Tennessee
So I got somethin' in a bottle
And I got somethin' from a seed
Since you said you didn't love me
Since you hung me out to dry
I've been drunk up in the Smokies
On a Rocky Mountain high
I've been drunk up in the Smokies
On a Rocky Mountain high, ooh
Jack's still on the hill 'cause Jill ran away
But Jill's got nothin' on Jack and Jane
Florida Georgia Line's song "Colorado" is a story about a failed honeymoon that turned into a solo trip for the singer. The lyrics describe his journey from Tennessee to Colorado as a way to escape from his heartbreak. The song is a fusion of country and rock music and the catchy tune captures the essence of a road trip.
The first verse of the song talks about the singer's friends, who are from Colorado and Tennessee. They provide him with a sense of comfort in his time of need. He also mentions that he has something in a bottle and something from a seed, which could be a reference to alcohol and marijuana, respectively. The singer seems to be drowning his sorrows in these substances after being left heartbroken.
The second verse describes the singer's failed honeymoon, which he had planned and paid for. Although the view is beautiful, the situation is far from sweet as the singer is alone. He spends his time in a cabin looking at the trees, away from the rest of the world. He mentions that his phone has no signal and this could be seen as a metaphor for the disconnection he feels with the world.
The chorus of the song talks about the singer's coping mechanism for his heartbreak. He drinks and gets high, surrounded by his friends from Colorado and Tennessee. The line "On a Rocky Mountain high" is a reference to the famous song of the same name by John Denver.

On a Rocky Mountain high, ooh
I was high in the Rocky Mountains too
