Sittin on a pocket full of hard earned wages
Lookin at the world through magazine pages
I heard a lot about the mountains and the colorado range
Made this stop for personal reasons
Didnt know Id catch the changin of the seasons
Winter dictates everything from frost to naked trees
Chorus:
Im about a mile high in denver
Where the rock meets timberline
Ive walked this ground from town to town
Just to finally call it mine
Lookin for the cloud with a styrofoam lining
Hopin that the sun will keep on shinin
Leading me to distant peace that waits so patiently
Need a little love to try some givin
Try a little love and then start livin
Things I feared so long ago
When everything was wrong
Chorus:
Im about a mile high in denver
Where the rock meets timberline
Ive walked this ground from town to town
Tonight Ill call it mine
Tonight Ill call it mine
Sittin on a pocket full of hard earned wages
Lookin at the world through magazine pages
I heard a lot about the mountains and the colorado range
Need a little time to try some livin
Try a little love and then start givin
Things I feared so long ago
When everything was wrong
Im about a mile high in denver
Where the rock meets timberline
Where God and trees create the breeze
Tonight Ill call it mine
Tonight Ill call it mine
Tonight Ill call it mine
Tonight Ill call it mine
Tonight Ill call it mine
The lyrics A MILE HIGH IN DENVER of JIMMY BUFFETT is also present in the album Down to earth (1970)
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) è stato un cantautore, musicista e scrittore statunitense, noto per il suo stile musicale definito "Parrothead", che fonde elementi di country, folk, rock e calypso. Nato a Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett ha trascorso la sua infanzia in diverse località degli Stati Uniti prima di stabilirsi a Key West, Florida, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70. Il suo successo è legato a brani come "Margaritaville", "Come Monday" e "Cheeseburger in Paradise", che hanno reso Buffett un'icona della cultura americana, associata a un'atmosfera rilassata e paradisiaca. Oltre alla musica, Buffett ha scritto diversi libri di narrativa e saggistica, tra cui il best-seller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". La sua musica e la sua personalità hanno ispirato una vasta community di fan, i "Parrotheads", che celebrano la vita semplice e l'amore per le vacanze. Buffett è morto nel 2023 all'età di 76 anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
