The Girl In Denver

(V1) He's out there checking fences
His bucket full of wrenches
He rides his rusty quad
Dodging the clumps of sod

(V2) He wraps a wire around the post
Still thinking about the most...
Beautiful face on the planet
He whispers the words "damn it"

(Chr) He's thinking about the girl in Denver
He wonders if she still remembers
The night that they danced....seemed forever
The goodbye kiss, that he'll never.....forget
He'll always regret...but never forget...
The girl in Denver

(instrumental solo)

(Brdg) If there was a second chance
He would asked for another dance
But do overs never come
Where winning's an 8 second run

(V3) That was thirty years ago or more
She knew his choice and the score
She said there's no future in Rodeo
And stayed in the Colorado snow

(Chr) He's thinking about the girl in Denver
He wonders if she still remembers
The night that they danced....seemed forever
The goodbye kiss that he'll never.....forget
He'll always regret...but never forget...
The girl in Denver

(V4) He's out there checking fences
With a worn out set of wrenches
He can see her face clearly
And mends another lost memory.......
