I saw mary's face in that little snow-flake
That fell at my feet on the ground
And I heard my old friends in that last bitter wind
That blew back memories of my hometown

I can see the old crowd laughing so lou
Lord I miss all my loved ones so dear
From the cold rocky mountains of denver
I can almost see houston from here

I came here to build a dream and stayed to watch it die
I was meant to fail I guess lord knows how I tried
Funny how much better I can see without my pride
From the cold rocky mountains of denver
I can almost see houston from here

Next 3 lines spoken:
I had some good friend in denver town
But lately they don’t come around
I guess good time crowds are all the same

But with this old thumb I'll get a ride
And bid a lonely last goodbye
To the cold rocky mountains of denver
For I can almost see houston from here
From the cold rocky mountains of denver
