"Where the Columbines Grow" is one of the two official state songs of the U.S. state of Colorado. It was written and composed by Dr. Arthur John Fynn in 1911, and was adopted on May 8, 1915. In the early to mid-2000s, there was debate over replacing "Where the Columbines Grow" with John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" or Merle Haggard's rare song "Colorado". In 2007, the Colorado legislature named "Rocky Mountain High" as Colorado's second official state song, paired with "Where the Columbines Grow".

In 2007, the Colorado legislature named "Rocky Mountain High" as Colorado's second official state song, paired with "Where the Columbines Grow". In October 1978, Dave Beadles (then music director for 740 KSSS, Colorado Springs) petitioned Governor Richard Lamm to temporarily change the state song for Country Music Month to "Colorado", written by Dave Kirby. The petition was successful and Kirby was flown to Colorado for the occasion. (en)
