about

'She Lives In Denver' is a true tale about Gloria Eades – then, a Western Airlines flight attendant living in Denver – whom Martin met and dated in Hawaii when he was playing drums in Cactus Jack, with Keith Zeller (guitar) and John Overly (bass), at The Green Rose on Lewers Street, Waikiki.

By chance, they met again 15 years later in a restaurant in Mainz, Germany and picked up where they left off – only to part company once more after 6 months.

The song was recorded by Martin (acoustic guitar) and Paul (piano & vocal) at Studio One, owned by Doug Casady, in West Seattle, Washington – where, along with; Doug (guitar), Richard (guitar) & Goldy McJohn of Steppenwolf (keyboards), Martin (drums) & Paul (bass) worked on original songs.

lyrics

★ SHE LIVES IN DENVER ★

SHE LIVES IN DENVER
THO' I'D NEVER BEEN THERE
SAID I WOULD MAKE IT MY HOME
I COULD NOT FORGET HER
WHEN ALL OF HER LETTERS
SAID SHE COULDN'T MAKE IT ALONE

THE DAYS SPENT TOGETHER
WERE BETTER THAN EVER
IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
I QUIT MY JOB SOLD MY CAR
BOUGHT A ONE-WAY FARE
I WAS LEAVIN' NOTHIN' BEHIND

IN A WORLD FULL OF PEOPLE
YOU'D THINK IT EASY
FINDIN' SOMEONE TO LOVE
WITH A HEART THAT CARES
AN' LOVE TO SHARE
OR IS THAT WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

SHE LOVES IT IN DENVER
WITH WOOD FIRES IN WINTER
AN' STARS IN THE SUMMER NIGHT SKIES
BUT I'LL NEVER KNOW
AS I HUNG UP THE PHONE
SHE SAID HONEY THIS IS GOODBYE

IN A WORLD FULL OF PEOPLE
YOU'D THINK IT EASY
FINDIN' SOMEONE TO LOVE
WITH A HEART THAT CARES
AN' LOVE TO SHARE
OR IS THAT WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

SHE USED HER RIGHT
CHANGED HER MIND OVERNIGHT
THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE SHE SAID
GUESS I'M IN THE WRONG
I WAITED TOO LONG
NOW I'M MOVIN' TO L.A. INSTEAD

AN' SHE LIVES IN DENVER
