We pulled into Denver, as the sun was lightin' up the Rockies
Checked into a cheap hotel and fell asleep, holdin' each other close
We just knew in our hearts this had to be a new beginning
Well, I guess it goes to show you just how li'l some people know
The first year in Denver, we were as happy as we could be
The good times I remember, we loved and heard, and heard lovin' free
But then she dropped me in Denver, so I know I had at least a mile to fall
Is there life after Denver? Is there life after Colorado at all?
I crawled out of Denver, moved a little higher in the Rockies
Decided I would try my hand, pickin' up the pieces that she left
And Lord, it didn't take long to realize that higher ain't always better
And it's awful cold and lonely when you're king of the mountain
All by yourself
The first year in Denver, we were as happy as we could be
The good times I remember, we loved and heard and heard lovin' free
But then she dropped me in Denver, so I know I had at least a mile to fall
Is there life after Denver? Is there life after Colorado at all?
Lord, is there life after Denver? Is there life after loving her at all?
