In a high alpine meadow, there's a bristlecone pine It clings to hopeless ground above timberline It's grown a thousand years there twisting in the wind Sit at its feet, breathe in deep And drink it all in When we all come together as we will do at times You can hear our voices roll down the mountainside And when we raise our glass, we raise it with friends Here's to Colorado, drink it all in On Shavano's side an angel flies and she's calling to me On a clear day from the top you can watch the sun rise over the peaks See the Needles and the Bells, Silverheels, and a Holy Cross my friend Climb that rock, take a little stock And drink it all in When we all come together as we will do at times You can hear our voices roll down the mountainside And when we raise our glass, we raise it with friends Here's to Colorado, drink it all in When the sun goes down, we'll sit by the fire And tell our stories to the stars in the sky Listen to that river tumbling by And sing along together Rocky Mountain High Gonna build me a cabin down by old Nellie Creek While away my days in the aspen trees I'll leave the door open, so you can come right on in Take a load off your feet, share a tune with me And drink it all in When we all come together as we will do at times You can hear our voices roll down the mountainside And when we raise our glass, we raise it with friends Here's to Colorado, drink it all in
