“I Guess He’d Rather Be in Colorado” has been covered by a few artists, but it’s most identified with John Denver. Written by Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, Denver released it on his 1971 Poems, Prayers, and Promises album, along with another Danoff/Nivert composition you may recognize–“Take Me Home Country Roads.” It’s a great song about wanting to be somewhere else, and my favorite bit of lyrical magic is rhyming “office” with “cough is.” 😉
