Rocky Mountain High
Lyrics 
He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
Left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
Might say he found a key for ev'ry door

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