My Eyes Are Set on Denver

My eyes are set on Denver

But my legs are planted East

So I wildly twirl in hesitant dance

Where you just can't find the beat

The path that yawns before me

Is full of blues and greens

But it leads to rock red like blood

Behind those western peaks

I hear ghost riders in the sky

Johnny Cash and mountain pie

Giants hunched over a silent crowd

Nothing but me and the lights and the clouds

Just when my fingers touch the strings

I feel my hair blow in the breeze

Colorado

Call me if you please

My eyes are set on Denver

But my hands are numb with fright

How many years between here and then

How many sleepless nights

What scars will I bring with me

Is there a woman by my side

It's the unknown that scares me so

But it's gonna be a hell of a ride

I hear ghost riders in the sky

Johnny Cash and mountain pie

Giants hunched over a silent crowd

Nothing but me and the lights and the clouds

Just when my fingers touch the strings

I feel my hair blow in the breeze

I hear ghost riders in the sky

Johnny Cash and mountain pie

Giants hunched over a silent crowd

Nothing but me and the lights and the clouds

Just when my fingers touch the strings

I feel my hair blow in the breeze

Rocks of red dance in my head

Put me on stage and I'll knock them dead

Stage all blue when I dream of you

An ocean of faces stretching out of view

Skies of pink what will I think

Dizzy with joy when I stand on the brink

Rocks of red dance in my head

Put me on stage and I'll knock them dead
