i knew John Denver

I was born in the mountains in my 27th year
how could I've known my future was near
Put the past behind me found a key to every door
When I finally came home to a place I'd never been before

I came the the mountains to be alone
And somehow I found a home
So hard to explain when I reflect
How this place these people have had an effect

When I first came to the mountains my life was hanging by a song
Life changes fast and it won't last for long
The Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky

The Colorado Rocky Mountain high

I knew John Denver he was a realy nice guy
Wasn't a poor man got to see his eagle fly
I prayed to God and listened to his casual reply
In Colorado even nice guys die

When I first came to the mountains my life was hanging by  a song
Life changes fast and it wont last for long
The Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky

The Colorado Rocky Mountain high
