Rocky Mountain high
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
Keeps changin' fast, it don't last for long
Rocky Mountain high
And he lost a friend but kept his memory
Saw silver clouds below
The forests and the streams
But his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Friends around the campfire
Saw everything as far as you can see
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
Rocky Mountain high
If he never saw an eagle fly
On the road and hangin' by a song
His sight has turned inside
To bring in a couple more
And they say that he got crazy once
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
You talk to God, listen to the casual reply
Now his life is full of wonder
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
Why they try to tear the mountains down
The shadow from the starlight
Now, he walks in quiet solitude
Rocky Mountain high
Everybody's high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The Colorado Rocky Mountain high
Might say he found a key for ev'ry door
Rocky Mountain high
Is softer than a lullaby
Left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
Rocky Mountain high
More people, more scars upon the land
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Rocky Mountain high
He climbed cathedral mountains
He know he'd be a poorer man
Colorado Rocky Mountain high
It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
Seeking grace in every step he takes
And he tried to touch the sun
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Himself to try and understand
