A Mile High in Denver

Jimmy Buffett

Album: Before the Beach Durasi: 3:01

Sitting on a pocket full of hard earned wages

Looking at the world through magazine pages

I heard a lot about the mountains, and the Colorado range

Made this stop for personal reasons

Didn't know I'd catch the changing of the seasons

Winter dictates everything from frost, to naked trees

I'm about a mile high in Denver

Where the rock meets timberline

I've walked this ground from town to town

Just to finally, call it mine

Looking for the cloud with a styrofoam lining

Hoping that the sun will keep on shining

Leading me to distant peace, that waits so patiently

Need a little love to try some giving

Try a little love and then start living

Things I feared so long ago

When everything was wrong

I'm about a mile high in Denver

Where the rock meets timberline

I've walked this ground from town to town

Tonight, I'll call it mine

Sitting on a pocket full of hard earned wages

Looking at the world through magazine pages

I heard a lot about the mountains, and the Colorado range

Need a little time to try some living

Try a little love and then start giving

Things I feared so long ago

When everything was wrong

I'm about a mile high in Denver

Where the rock meets timberline

Where God and trees create the breeze

Tonight, I'll call it mine
