He was born in the summer
of his twenty seventh year,
comin' home to a place he'd never been before.
He left yesterday behind him,
you might say he was born again.
You might say he found a key for ev'ry door.
When he first came to the mountains
his life was far away,
on the road and hangin' by a song.
But the string's already broken
and he doesn't really care.
It keeps changin' fa-st
and it don't la-st for long.
But the Colarado Rocky Mountain Hi-gh
I've seen it rainin' fire i-n the sky.
The shadow from the star-li-g-ht
is softer than a lullaby.
Rocky Mountain High, Rocky Mountain High.
