If I say goodbye it´ll grieve you
Denver means the whole world to you
Girl it breaks me up just to leave you
But I got things that I gotta do

Got to take my guitar
With one break I´m a star
Girl I´ll love you forever more
But today I´ve got to make my way
From Denver to L.A.

Girl I know that you´ll make me stay
But today I´ve got to make my way
From Denver to L.A.

There´s a whole new life to be led there
That´s the place that I gotta be
Guys are making mountains of bread there
Reckon it could happen to me

Lots of guys make the grade
Just one break and I may
And I´ll bring it on home
