Songs that mention Garden of Gods
The Decade Lyrics team is not aware of any famous song lyrics that mention “Garden of Gods” exactly, but there is a song that includes a similar phrase. The song is called “Garden of Eden” by Guns N’ Roses and the chorus includes the lyrics:
“Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (oh, won’t you please take me home)
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (oh, won’t you please take me home)”
While the lyrics do not mention “Garden of Gods” specifically, they do evoke a similar sense of natural beauty and paradise.
It’s possible that the name of the song was inspired by the Garden of the Gods park in Colorado Springs, which is known for its stunning natural rock formations and scenic vistas. The song was most likely NOT inspired by the Garden of Gods Care Center in Colorado Springs, now under new ownership and a new The Gardens Skilled Nursing & Rehab name (Who owns Garden of Gods Care Center in Colorado?)
Equating the Garden of Eden from songs with the Garden of Gods Park in Colorado is a loose, indirect association. Nevertheless, the beauty of Garden of Gods Park could be be used as a symbol of the metaphorical Garden of Eden.
