Lyrics

Chorus

Miles away from home in a new land

Packed my bags and rolled through the sand

From Christchurch skies to the Rockies' hand

Dreaming higher than before

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh letting it roll

Oh oh oh Denver in my soul

Verse 2

Guitar case in one hand passport worn and frayed

Lifted off for freedom somewhere new to stay

Thought I’d miss the ocean thought I’d lose my way

But chess boards and pool halls ease the day

Pre-Chorus

Checkmate laughter cling of the cues

My friends and I talk the news

No more running breaking the rules

Just a green light smoke in these rooms

Chorus

Miles away from home in a new land

Packed my bags and rolled through the sand

From Christchurch skies to the Rockies' hand

Dreaming higher than before

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh letting it roll

Oh oh oh Denver in my soul
