I'd have used "Rocky Mountain Buy... ...ing Colorado."

It fits the song.

This is what you do to a song like this to get the movie to stick: They've have pulled this little gambit for 27 years, building homes is a game they've played before.
Left California behind them, to turn a buck again, you might say they bought a key for every door.
When they first came to the mountains, they saw massive real estate, and ranches that they'd buy for a song.
They just strain the truth till broken and they don't really care, for the wolves are fast, and it don't take them long.

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
The shadows of the ranchers as they watch their life slowly die.
Rocky Mountain Buy-ing Colorado. Rocky Mountain Buy.

He was born up in the mountains, and saw yuppie crowds below, taking everything as far as they could see.
And they say that he got crazy once when they tried to take his land, and force him into a conservancy.
Now he walks in quiet solitude, knowing he is not alone, bureaucrats watch every step he takes.
To fine him till he's off his land and just taking more and more, more profits for the crooks in real estate.

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain Buy, I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
Learn why God won't listen to your casual reply.
Rocky Mountain Buy-ing Colorado. Rocky Mountain Buy.

Now his life is full of wonder, in his heart still grows the fear, of a simple thing he can not comprehend.
Why they try to burn the mountains down to pull in a couple more, more people, who once cared for the land.
They're still talking preservation, while the forests slowly die, overstocked with trees that they they won't let him thin,
They're still building new apartments, and they'll just cram him in there too, with the help of politicians.

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain Buy, I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
Soon he'll be a poor man, an apartment he will buy,
Rocky Mountain Buy, the Colorado Rocky Mountain Buy, I've seen it raining fire in the sky.
Toke that marijuana, keep everybody's high
Rocky Mountain Buy-ing Colorado. Rocky Mountain Buy.
Rocky Mountain Buy-ing Colorado. Rocky Mountain Buy.
