I'd always heard about the great Atlantic 
How it humbles you to stand upon it's shore 
So I thought I'd take some time to go and see it 
Since I had no ties to bind me anymore 
But I wonder what I`d wasted my time for 

You call that an ocean? 
To me it's just a pond that's almost dry 
If you want to see an ocean 
You should see the tears her leaving made me cry

So I headed west to see that famous canyon 
That the Colorado cut so deep and wide 
I thought seeing something lower down than I felt 
Might cheer me up and ease my troubled mind 
But I just got disappointed one more time 

You call that a canyon? 
It`s nothing but a pothole in the yard 
If you want to see a canyon 
You should see the hole she left here in my heart

So now I stand here staring at the Rockies 
I've heard they reach right up to heaven's door 
They're like that little hole and that blue puddle 
And I see now what I should have seen before 
Without her life holds no wonders anymore 

You call that a mountain? 
It's just a little pile of rocks and dirt 
If you want to see a mountain 
You ought to try getting over her 
If you call that a mountain...
