Denver Girls

She wore a silver talisman and always spoke in plains Found me on the road half dead, looking for a change She said Hey, broken hearted man quit standing in the door. If it's not paradise now, tell me what you're waiting for Don't you know? There is no evermore She told me of her new religion to the sound of passing trains She tied me to that motel bed Left me to call her name And you know I've never been the same With those eyes like faded jewels And that crooked country smile That Denver girl, she drug me down a rough and ragged mile And you know It sure was worth the while She said hey I love you now, but let's get one thing clear Many roads will get you there but none will take you here If you knew just where you are, she said, you wouldn't be so sad The only thing you ever lose is what you thing you have Don't you know? It isn't good or bad Then she sang along some ballad Like Penny Tai or Curtis Jane That Denver girl stole my heart with every song she sang And you know I've never been the same Oh those eyes like faded jewels And that crooked country smile That Denver girl, she drug me down a rough and ragged mile And you know It sure was worth the while
