Colorado Über Alles

(dedicated to a songwriter who died ten years ago last week)

They were born in the Autumn of their 15th year
Winning games at a pace they'd never won before
They left yesterday behind them
You might say they were born again
You might say they found the key to every door

When they first came to the mountains their team was in despair
With the errors they made and all the saves they blew
But now their luck is changing, they're winning games with flair
Twenty one and one over their last twenty two

It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen the pennant flying in the sky
Fans around the humidor and everybody's high
Rocky Mountain High
