Long time Colorado residents..

Does anyone remember a song that they used to play on the radio every Friday at 5:00 PM,something about if I had a Chevy, I would drive to Colorado.

I am trying trying to get a copy of this song and I need the title and artist.

No luck on Google :-(

You Probably Shouldn't Move Here

Well I heard that your state could be sinking,
deep into the briny sea,
and all of them earthquakes got you thinking,
'bout leaving Californee-ee.
There's riots and there's floods and it's smoggy,
toxic waste on yonder beach,
and all of them Hippies down in SANTA CRUZ,
are startin' to suck just like a leach.
You're sick of sunshine and surfing,
you've had all the tofu you can take,
well look here times-a-wastin',
you just move to the Centennial state!

Some people think our state is square,
they're wrong just wait and see,
I walk a mile high,
Colorado's right for me.

Well ridin' on a cow can make you tired,
and it gets a little cold,
"That's true!",
but if y'all could use a little swayin',
here's Val from the W's!
Riding rodeos and square dancing,
you farm like mad all day,
you might think that I'm lying,
shoot listen what my uncle's gotta say!
"I'm an old smelly geezer,
I don't know what rhymes with that,
if you've got a boil you could pick it,
get out of my yard and give me my
chicken!"

Left over salmon

when i grow up i want to work at alfalfa's
where the cheese is dairy-free

2. Yeah

We used to sing it in elementary school:

If I had a wagon I would, drive to Colorado
Drive to Colorado, Drive to COlorado,
If I had a wagon I would, drive to the state
Where a man can walk a mile high.

(I think you then sing it was a Chevy, etc.)

I don't have info on artist/title, sorry.
