Spent the last year Rocky Mountain Way
Couldn’t get much higher
Out to pasture — think it’s safe to say
Time to open fire
And, we don’t need the ladies crying 'cause the story’s sad
'cause the Rocky Mountain Way — it’s better than the way we had
Well, he’s telling us this and he’s telling us that — changes it every day
Says it doesn’t matter
Bases are loaded and Casey’s at bat — playing it play by play
Time to change the batter
And, we don’t need the ladies crying 'cause the story’s sad
Rocky Mountain Way — it’s better than the way we had
Joe takes the "Ernie nerny " riff EVERYBODY did out to the woodshed and gave it a bottle of Louis Tres and a 17 year old Guatemalan hooker named "Sunshine"
I was at a block party in Chicago, where a local DJ, Steve Dahl, and his band, was playing and guess who showed up to jam? The man himself, and he played this great song! I was 2 feet away from him, best memory ever!
“Well he’s tellin’ us this
And he’s tellin us that
Changes it ev’ry day”
Valid and searing words then, and even more so today. Very fortifying for me. Thank you
So glad we didn't lose Joe to the Stupid Club. Getting sober and staying that way has not only transformed his own life but countless others struggling with the disease of addiction. He does a lot behind the scenes no one ever hears about it. A hell of an artist and stand up human....
This is a very well recorded album. The first time I ever heard this song was on a GOOD stereo back in 1974 or 75 with 12in woofers. The clarity, you could hear everything. The cymbals sounded excellent as well as all the other instruments.
