Rocky Mountain Suprise
I saw your smile and I started thinking,
Maybe you're just a town away,
Maybe I could pick you up on Friday,
Watch the sunset fade away.
Then you laughed and said, “I'm in Colorado,”
And my heart skipped about a mile,
Four hours flying through the open sky,
But damn, you're worth every mile.
[Pre-Chorus]
Twenty-four hours if I take the highway,
Four if these wings can fly,
Funny how somebody so far away
Can already feel close tonight.
[Chorus]
Could you be my Rocky Mountain surprise,
Waiting underneath those Colorado skies?
Maybe there's a reason that our paths crossed tonight,
Maybe something bigger got the timing right.
I don't know where this road will go,
But there's one thing time will show
Four hours away, but you're stuck on my mind,
Could you be my Rocky Mountain surprise?
[Verse 2]
Maybe someday I'll be packing a suitcase,
With an old guitar riding by my side,
Touching down where the mountains kiss heaven,
And seeing that sparkle in your eyes.
We could find some little roadside diner,
Laugh until they turn out all the lights,
Then I'll hold your hand beneath a million stars,
And thank God I took that flight.
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause miles are only numbers,
When two hearts wanna try,
And sometimes love comes looking
From the other side of the sky.
[Chorus]
Could you be my Rocky Mountain surprise,
Waiting underneath those Colorado skies?
Maybe there's a reason that our paths crossed tonight,
Maybe something bigger got the timing right.
I don't know where this road will go,
But there's one thing time will show.
Four hours away, but you're stuck on my mind,
Could you be my Rocky Mountain surprise?
[Bridge
Twenty-four hours behind a wheel,
Four hours above the clouds,
But distance doesn't scare me much
When my heart is talking this loud.
I won't promise you forever
Before we've even had our chance,
But I'll believe in something beautiful
If you'll meet me halfway in this dance.
[Final Chorus]
Maybe you're my Rocky Mountain surprise,
The kind of girl you never planned to find.
Maybe faith put Colorado
Between your heart and mine.
And if someday I'm standing there,
Lost inside your eyes,
I'll know every single mile was worth
Crossing all that sky.
Yeah, I thought that you were close by,
Turns out you're a plane ride away...
But maybe love ain't measured up in miles,
Maybe it's measured up in faith.
[Outro]
So here's to Colorado,
And whatever waits
in time...
Could you be my Rocky Mountain,
My Rocky Mountain surprise?
