It's a long way from la to denver It's a long time to hang in the sky It's a long way home to starwood in aspen A sweet rocky mountain paradise Oh, my sweet rocky mountain paradise
Springtime is rollin' round slowly Grey skies are bringin' me down I can't remember when I've ever been so lonely I forgot what it's like to be home Can't remember what it's like to be home
But I think on my lady's sweet memories I think on my children's sweet smiles I think on my home in starwood in aspen All my friends and the snow covered hills Oh, my friends are the snow covered hills
And I tell you I'm happy to be here To share and consider this time For I see here the shadows of changes And a feeling of new friends to find And I see here some new friends to find
But it's a long way from this place to denver It's a long time to hang in the sky It's a long way home to starwood in aspen A sweet rocky mountain paradise Oh, my sweet rocky mountain paradise
