Mr. Rocky Mountain Business Man Lyrics

They turned east that morning

A quarter of a mile over the line

Beneath a water tower standing tall

Her China-blue eyes were wide

Her brown hair drawn back and tied with a silk scarf

Hung halfway down her back just right

His hand stretched out to the West

You come see me anytime

And I will come to you

In the black of some terrible night

And you know that I can do it

Her letters and lace

Dear New England

You should have warned

You could get so cold

Even in summertime

Love, the West

You come see me anytime

She was supposed to be dozing

In her warm bed come this time of night

Maybe she locks the door to keep the boys out

I'm just waiting for something

To come up here

And finish off this town

Blame it on the wells

Maybe she locks the door to keep the boys out

Found in the morning

In the morning

In the basement

Cold

But he'd gone on working just the same

He only opened them when he heard

The rattle of her keys in the door

Standing on the high roof

She looked a little mollified

And I can make you wish you never watched

The sun go down

Her letters and lace

Dear New England

You should have warned

You could get so cold

Even in summertime

Love, the West

You come see me anytime

She was supposed to be turning

Through Colorado

This time of night

Maybe she locks the door to keep the boys out

I'm just waiting for something

To come up here

And finish off this town

Blame it on ourselves

Maybe she locks the door to keep the boys out

Give me the matches

At the corners of her mouth

There was the creak of bed springs as she stood up and out

And she said

Where the blackberries grow you'll find me

And that's where she was found
