Rebecca Dale/Moker Jarrett story of a guy missin' his family while he's travelin' doin' his job... Magicshack Nashville
Thirteenth Floor
(c) 2008, Rebecca Dale Peaden (BMI)/Moker Jarrett (ASCAP)
Looking out my window on the 13th floor
of the Curtis Hotel in Denver
It's ninety degrees in the Mile-High City
but to me it feels - like the dead of winter
I know you and the kids are doing fine
Farm life made you all so strong
This travelin' job is just to get us thru
I'll be home for good - before too long
Chorus:
Yeah, here on the 13th floor
it seems empty and strange
These hotel walls - they sense my pain
who cares for million dollar views
if I can't share them with you
Historic buildings sparkle and shine
As the sun bounces off their glass
With snow-capped mountains as a backdrop
I should go out - I'm just not up to the task
Chorus:
Here on the 13th floor
it seems empty and strange
These hotel walls - they sense my pain
who cares for million dollar views
if I can't share them with you
Bridge:
On the street below - couples walk hand in hand
It's almost more than I can stand
Right now I'd trade this business suit - and urban sprawl
for corn fields and overalls
Repeat Chorus:
