It's a cold, cold moon out tonight
& it's a cold, cold point on your knife
Could I call myself a man if I left by the morning light?
& I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone
I'd be 40 miles from Denver & 3 days from my home
In that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail
Ohh, life is better there
It's a lonely road to travel on
But I've stood here waiting much too long
& I'd rather leave this minute than try to carry on
& I'd be 40 miles from Denver headed east bound on the track
I'd be 40 miles from Denver & trying to get back
To that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail
Ohh, life is better there
It's a cold, cold moon out tonight
& it's a cold, cold point on your knife
Could I call myself a man if I left by the morning light?
& I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone
I'd be 40 miles from Denver & 3 days from my home
In that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail
Ohh, life is better there (4x)
& it's a cold, cold point on your knife
Could I call myself a man if I left by the morning light?
& I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone
I'd be 40 miles from Denver & 3 days from my home
In that cool mountain air, on an Appalachian trail
Ohh, life is better there
It's a lonely road to travel on
But I've stood here waiting much too long
