And he lost a friend in Captain Emory
And he lost a friend, but kept a memory
And he lost a friend, the Captain and Marie
And he lost a friend, but kept a memory
And he lost his friends, and he kepts his memories
And he lost a friend, but kept the memory
Call her out on Rocky Mountain High.
Colorado Rocky Mountain High
Everybody’s hot
Everybody’s high
From a bottle, Rocky Mountain high
Colorado, Rocky Mountain high
He climbed the fever mountains.
He climbed cathedral mountains.
He climbs to see the mountains.
He climbed cathedral mountains.
His sinus turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.
I know he'd be a poorer man if he ever should leave this land
I know he'd be a poorer man, if he'd never seen an eagle fly
I seen it reign with ire in the sky
or
I'd see it rain if I were in disguise
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I've seen it reign with ire in disguise
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
More people, more squatters on the land
More people, more scars upon the land
More people, more stars upon the land
More people, more scars upon the land
Now his mind is full of wonder
But his heart, still loathsome fear.
Now his mind is full of wonder
But his heart still knows some fear.
Rockin' mighty fine
Rocky Mountain High
Rockin' mountain high
Rocky Mountain High
Rocky Mountain High, Donnie Darko.
Rocky Mountain High, Colorado.
Rocky Mountain High, Marlon Brando
Rocky Mountain High, In Colorado
Rocky Mountain High, Norman Rockwell
Rocky Mountain High, In Colorado
Rocky Mountain High, and Donna Fargo

Rocky Mountain Pie
Rocky Mountain High
Rocky mountain pie, with Portabello
Rocky mountain high, in Colorado
The Colorado Rocky Mountain high,
I've seen it rain and fire in the sky.
The Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The real reference is to a meteor shower that Mr. Denver had once witnessed in the Rocky Mountains.
The Colorado Rocky Mountain high,
Of cement, rain, and fire in the sky.
The Colorado Rocky Mountain high,
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky.
Walk the mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
When they tried to tear the mountains down To bring in a couple more.
Why they try to tear the mountains down
To bring in a couple more?
Why they try to tear the mountains down
To bring in a tug-of-war?
Why they try to tear the mountains down
To bring in a couple more?
