THE MOVE
 

Her mama said she up and moved to  Denver
"I'm going there to stay"
Was all she'd say
 

While  life remains unchanged back here in  Memphis
She’s a mile high
And I’ll  never be the  same
 

You know I've never seen those Colorado mountains
But I hear the beauty's somthing to behold
Well the beauty I held here was all I needed
But she headed down some rocky mountain road
 

It wasn’t me or Tennesee that she was leaving
No it’s not the state
It’s just her state of mind
 

And you know I miss her and I pray
there’ll come some reason
That’ll bring her back
Off Rocky Mountain Time
 

You know I've never seen those Colorado mountains
But I hear the colors take your breath away
Well, since I'm barely breathing here without you
Without you here is where I'm gonna stay
 

You know I look for you each Sunday on the big screen
The game is always on down at the bar
And in a sea of blue and orange I think I see your smiling face
Just before they carry me out to the car
 

And I try to picture you in Colorado
 With windburned cheeks and snowlight on your face
 What's even harder, try to picture me without you
 But the picture's getting clearer every day
 

Oh yes, that picture's getting clearer every day
