Jimmy Buffett
A Mile High In Denver
Written by - Jimmy Buffett
From - Down To Earth
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 

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 

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 (5 x's)
