A Mile High in Denver

 

A Mile High in Denver Lyrics

By: Jimmy Buffett
1970
Sittin` on a pocket full of hard earned wages
Lookin` 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 changin` of the seasons
Winter dictates everything from frost to naked trees

Chorus:
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

Lookin` for the cloud with a styrofoam lining
Hopin` that the sun will keep on shinin`
Leading me to distant peace that waits so patiently
Need a little love to try some givin`
Try a little love and then start livin`
Things I feared so long ago
When everything was wrong

Chorus:
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
Tonight I`ll call it mine

Sittin` on a pocket full of hard earned wages
Lookin` at the world through magazine pages
I heard a lot about the mountains and the Colorado range
Need a little time to try some livin`
Try a little love and then start givin`
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
Tonight I`ll call it mine
Tonight I`ll call it mine
Tonight I`ll call it mine
Tonight I`ll call it mine
