My response to John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High.”

The first time I dropped my lowest string
Was for Rocky Mountain High
Last night I caught a flight
To see the fire in the sky
Where John found twenty-seven
Now I’m turning thirty-five
Standing here this close to heaven
Damn it’s good to be alive
So good to be alive
Felt like he’d been saying
Well it was about time for me to go
And after fifteen years of playing
Sure feels like home in Colorado

What you might find out in the Aspen
You could never know
There are secrets whispered
You can’t hear down below
Let the blue skies wash away
Your promises to keep
Let the Thompson’s river water
Gently roll you off to sleep
Yeah, roll you off to sleep
Felt like he’d been saying
Well it was about time for me to go
And after fifteen years of playing
Sure feels like home in Colorado
