We pulled into Denver  As the sun was lightin' up the Rockies  Checked into a cheap hotel & fell asleep  Holdin' each other close  We just knew in our hearts  This had to be a new beginning  Well I guess it goes to show you    Just how li'l some people know    CHORUS:  The first year in Denver  We were as happy as we could be  The good times I remember  We loved & heard, heard lovin' free  But then she dropped me in Denver  So I know I had at least a mile to fall  Is there life after Denver?  Is there life after Colorado at all?    I crawled out of Denver  Moved a little higher in the rockies  Decided I would try my hand pickin' up  The pieces that she left  Lord, it didn't take long to realize  That higher ain't always better  & it's awful cold & lonely  When you're king of the mountain all by yourself    (chorus)    Lord, is there life after Denver?  Is there life after lovin' her at all?
