I need an altitude adjustment
Get higher and higher 'til I feel nothing
Blue mountain air and good clean loving
And I need an altitude adjustment

Jammed up again in the music city
Damn I'm gonna sit here and write your diddies
I'm backing up my six string dreams and heading out west
This big city pills a little hard to swallow
Turning this steering wheel to Colorado
Let these rocky mountain highs put this Tennessee blues to rest

I need an altitude adjustment
Get higher and higher 'til I feel nothing
Cold mountain air and good clean loving
I need an altitude adjustment
And I wanna feel just like John Denver
All of my worries, I can't remember
Out here in Boulder, I can't get busted
I need an altitude adjustment

I'll be down in Durango just doing my thing
Go hitch a ride to Telluride right where I know the lingo
Found a dreamboat and steamboat, and black diamond fresh powder queen
I asked for a dime and she gave me a dozen
Now I'm in Grand Junction and I can barely function
The sky is baby blue and the grass is green, if you know what I mean

I need an altitude adjustment
Get higher and higher 'til I feel nothing
Cold mountain air and good clean loving
I need an altitude adjustment
And I wanna feel just like John Denver
All of my worries, I can't remember
Out here in Boulder, I can't get busted
I need an altitude adjustment
