Lyrics
I rolled in to Boone County
One June evening all alone
And I was hearin' Dylan singin'
A thousand miles from his home
And downtown CoMo was a fine place
Just like you had often said
And in the blue room you gave this traveler
A place to rest his weary head
There's more joy that we have laughed for
Than a thousand jokes and tales
There's more hope that you have given
Than I needed to fill these sails
And there is more that you have bought me
Than a meal at any restaurant
And there is more that you have taught me
Than I can measure in a song
So fare thee well, O Columbia
And fair Missouri, adios
Got bluebonnets for my heartstrings
But I got them prairies in my soul
And I may live a life of leavin'
And never learn to say goodbye
But every time I shall remember
That it ain't no shame to cry
