Yonder Mountain String Band - 40 Miles From Denver lyrics

It's a cold, cold moon out tonight And it's a cold, cold point on your knife Could I call myself a man if I left by the morning light? And I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone I'd be 40 miles from Denver and three days from my home In that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail Ohh, life is better there It's a lonely road to travel on But I've stood here waiting much too long And I'd rather leave this minute than try to carry on And I'd be 40 miles from Denver headed east bound on the track I'd be 40 miles from Denver and trying to get back To that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail Ohh, life is better there It's a cold, cold moon out tonight And it's a cold, cold point on your knife Could I call myself a man if I left by the morning light? And I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone I'd be 40 miles from Denver and three days from my home In that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail Ohh, life is better there (4x)
