| Ive driven this road as a stranger
|
| Ive driven this road as a friend
|
| Ive driven this road as a slack-jawed tourist
|
| And Im drivin on it once again
|
| It might be cold and long and lonely
|
| But shes waiting on the other side
|
| And Im an hour closer to sarah in the summer
|
| And joyfully I ride.
|
| I climb through georgetown, silver plume
|
| The tunnel at lovelands cove/cold?
|
| The lake on the left is a little low
|
| Route 9 is the breckenridge road??
|
| Theres a sign right below copper mountain
|
| Telling wheter independence runs free/where the weather &independence run free
|
| And Im an hour closer to sarah in the summer
|
| And thats where I wanna be In the evening shadow of red butte
|
| Up the lane from the slaughter house bridge
|
| The first cabin the moonlight strikes as it crests the cleft in hunter crick
|
| ridge
|
| Up frombetween old red and smuggler
|
| Rising high on a piano bench there
|
| And Im an hour closer to sarah in the summer
|
| And what lies between beware
|
| What lies between, beware
|
| And the red sandstone sentinels rising high on either side
|
| As I follow the eagle valley
|
| Through the canyon where the saints reside
|
| In mt snowmasss majesty south
|
| And east out of glennwood springs
|
| And Im an hour closer to sarah in the summer
|
| Where the roaring river sings
|
| Where the roaring river sings. |
