"Rocky Mountain Hi"

link

=======================

"He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door"

=======================

You're 19, 22, 35,42...
You sleep with, fuck, and regret
You're broke
3 kids
You don't have a grand or $500 or whatever

=======================

You play M...

"It hurts when you see your friends turn their back on you dawg
When you ain't got nothing left but your word and your balls
When it ain't, that's the end, no laughs
No friends no girl(?)
Just the gin you drink till your car spin you think"

=======================

"When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long"

=======================

You have a Sister down South
A pill? To end this nightmare?
Hell, yeah
$200's better n a grand

========================

"But the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high"

========================

Package for you
Water, pill, wait, water, pill
Wait
Death?
Yes, a kind of
Without a doubt, a death
You hurt

========================

"He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake"

======================

My name is Jennie Linn
I live in Idaho

======================

"And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high"

======================

"Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land"

======================

Do you hear me now?

======================

"And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
It's Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high "
