It's the distance that we've somehow grown apart
And the love that once could conquer any mountain
The great divide, oh, that river's sorrow
We can't rebuild the bridge we've burned between our hearts
And I could swear a long dark valley lies between us
The great divide ain't in Colorado
We can't rebuild the bridge we've burned between our hearts
Has reached the edge of the great divide
The great divide, oh, that river's sorrow
The great divide ain't in Colorado
And there ain't no way to cross the great divide
It's the distance that we've somehow grown apart
But pride runs as deep as it is wide
Now Lord, knows we're both tryin' hard at crossin' over
