(1, 2, 3, 4)
About the time that I turned 14
I got a job doing landscaping
Those days were long and my old boss was mean
About the time that I turned 16
Got a car and no place to be
I'd fill up the tank and drive out to the sea

The Rockies ain't too far from here if we drive all night
The cold air will do you well in the mountain morning light

Let's ride let's ride on through the rain
Come on and take me anywhere that you wanna be
Let's ride

By the time that I turned 19
I'd seen so much yet I was still green
It's taken me a time or two to learn the things I watched you do for me
There I was at 29, I can't believe I'm still alive
Though it was never easy, you and me we were born to survive

The Rockies ain't too far from here if we drive all night
The cold air will do you well in the mountain morning light

So let's ride, that was my escape
A way to change the tape
That was playing, that was playing in my head

The Rockies ain't too far from here if we drive all night
The cold air will do you well in the mountain morning light
Let's ride let's ride on through the rain
Come on and take me anywhere that you wanna be
Let's ride, let's ride let's follow the skyline
And when we make it to the other side
We'll find all the bluest skies
