Lonely Night in Mile High

It was a dive bar Friday night on Colfax Met up with a friend I hadn't seen in years Bands were playing but I didn't stay for the last act Cos he met a girl and I turned into the third wheel Lit a cigarette and wondered through the streets of Denver Snow up in the front range but down here the sky was clear Thinking back on the way things were And wondering why I always seem to end up here It's a lonely night in mile high Should've noticed that look in her eyes If I'd only made a move, could've been alright But it's another lonely night in mile high Ended up in some establishment in LoDo Just in time for the bar to announce the last call PBR Tall Boy and it was time to go I said "yall take it easy" with a slight southern drawl It's a lonely night in mile high Should've noticed that look in her eyes If I'd only made a move, could've been alright But it's another lonely night in mile high I look for love like Elway looks for a quarterback With the best of intentions, but the results always seem to lack It's 5280 and my head ain't straight Guess it's time to go to bed, cos it's getting late It's a lonely night out here, in mile high Should have noticed that look so clearly in her eyes If I'd only made a move, would've been alright But it's another lonely night Ain't nothing but a Rocky Mountain Low tonight In mile high
