A Mile High in Denver
\n<\/i><\/b>by Jimmy Buffett<\/p>\n

Sittin’ on a pocket full of hard earned wages
\nLookin’ at the world through magazine pages
\nI heard a lot about the mountains and the Colorado range
\nMade this stop for personal reasons
\nI didn’t know I’d catch the changin’ of the seasons
\nWhere winter dictates everything from frost to naked trees<\/p>\n

I’m about a mile high in Denver
\nWhere the rock meets timberline
\nI’ve walked this ground from town to town
\nJust to finally call it mine<\/p>\n

Lookin’ for the cloud with a styrofoam lining
\nHopin’ that the sun will keep on shining
\nLeading me to distant peace that waits so patiently
\nNeed a little love to try some givin’
\nTry a little love and then start livin’
\nThings I feared so long ago
\nWhen everything was wrong<\/p>\n

I’m about a mile high in Denver
\nWhere the rock meets timberline
\nI’ve walked this ground from town to town
\nTonight I’ll call it mine<\/p>\n

Sittin’ on a pocket full of hard earned wages
\nLookin’ at the world through magazine pages
\nI heard a lot about the mountains and the Colorado range
\nNeed a little time to try some livin’
\nTry a little love and then start givin’
\nThings I feared so long ago
\nWhen everything was wrong
\nI’m about a mile high in Denver
\nWhere the rock meets timberline
\nWhere God and trees create the breeze
\nTonight I’ll call it mine<\/p>\n

\n

This song (along with “Turnabout<\/a>“) gets me thinking of a certain girl I once met. It’s strange: there’s nothing really about women or love or romance in this song. I think it’s the line “Made this stop for personal reasons<\/i>” in the first stanza that gets me.<\/p>\n

I’ve wanted to hop a plane to Denver to see a friend for a long time. She’s the kind of girl you never forget, the kind who you know you messed up with years ago, and you never stop kicking yourself for it. Gods, it hurts just to write that.<\/p>\n

So much could have happened. It’s the “coulda woulda shoulda” that you know is all true<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
