Lyric A Mile High In Denver

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
